The great development challenge of the 21st century is to safeguard the right
of generations today and in the future to live healthy and fulfilling lives.
The 2011 </span></font><i><font size="2" face="UniversLTStd-CnObl"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:UniversLTStd-CnObl;font-style:italic">Human
Development Report </span></font></i><font size="2" face="UniversLTStd-Cn"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:UniversLTStd-Cn">offers important new
contributions to the global dialogue on this challenge, showing how
sustainability is inextricably linked to equity—to questions of fairness and social
justice and of greater access to a better quality of life.<br>
<br>
<u></u><u></u></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-autospace:none"><font size="2" face="UniversLTStd-Cn"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:UniversLTStd-Cn">Forecasts
suggest that continuing failure to reduce the grave environmental risks and
deepening inequalities threatens to slow decades of sustained progress by the
world’s poor majority—and even to reverse the global convergence in human
development. Our remarkable progress in human development cannot continue
without bold global steps to reduce both environmental risks and inequality. The
Report identifies pathways for people, local communities, countries and the
international community to promote environmental sustainability and equity in
mutually reinforcing ways.<br>
<br>
<u></u><u></u></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-autospace:none"><font size="2" face="UniversLTStd-Cn"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:UniversLTStd-Cn">New
analysis shows how power imbalances and gender inequalities at the national
level are linked to reduced access to clean water and improved sanitation, land
degradation and illness and death due to air pollution, amplifying the effects
associated with income disparities. Gender inequalities also interact with
environmental outcomes and make them worse. At the global level, governance
arrangements often weaken the voices of developing countries and exclude
marginalized groups.<br>
<br>
<u></u><u></u></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-autospace:none"><font size="2" face="UniversLTStd-Cn"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:UniversLTStd-Cn">But
there are alternatives to inequality and unsustainability. Investments that
improve equity—for example, in access to renewable energy, water and
sanitation, and reproductive healthcare—could advance both sustainability and human
development. Stronger accountability and democratic processes can also improve
outcomes. Successful approaches rely on community management, broadly inclusive
institutions and attention to disadvantaged groups.<br>
<br>
<u></u><u></u></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-autospace:none"><font size="2" face="UniversLTStd-Cn"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:UniversLTStd-Cn">Beyond
the Millennium Development Goals, the world needs a development framework that
reflects equity and sustainability. The Report shows that approaches that
integrate equity into policies and programmes and that empower people to bring
about change in the legal and political arenas hold enormous promise.<u></u><u></u></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-autospace:none"><font size="2" face="UniversLTStd-Cn"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:UniversLTStd-Cn">The
financing needed for development are many times greater than current official
development assistance. Today’s spending on low-carbon energy sources, for
example, is less than 2 percent of even the lowest estimate of need.<br>
<br>
<u></u><u></u></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-autospace:none"><font size="2" face="UniversLTStd-Cn"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:UniversLTStd-Cn">Financing
flows need to be channeled towards the critical challenges of unsustainability
and inequity. While market mechanisms and private funding will be vital, they
must be supported and leveraged by proactive public investment.Closing the
financing gap requires innovative thinking, which the Report provides. The
Report also advocates reforms to promote equity and voice. We have a collective
responsibility towards the least privileged among us today and in the future
around the world—to ensure that the present is not the enemy of the future. The
Report can help us see the ways forward….”<br>
