Human development report 2011: sustainability and equity - a better future for all
This year's Human Development Report focuses on the challenge of sustainable and equitable progress and calls for addressing them together. It identifies policies that could spur mutually reinforcing progress towards these interlinked goals.
Development progress in the world’s poorest countries could be halted or even reversed by mid-century unless bold steps are taken now to slow climate change, prevent further environmental damage, and reduce deep inequalities within and among nations, according to projections in the 2011 Human Development Report. Sustainability and Equity: A Better Future for All argues that environmental sustainability can be most fairly and effectively achieved by addressing health, education, income, and gender disparities together with the need for global action on energy production and ecosystem protection.
