Danish Launch Human Development Report 2020: The Next Frontier: Human Development and the Anthropocene

Wednesday, December 16th 2020 14:00-15:00
Virtual launch. 

For the first time in a relationship spanning 300,000 years, instead of the planet shaping humans, humans are shaping the planet. This is the Anthropocene: the age of humans. The 30th anniversary Human Development Report 2020 looks at how humanity can navigate this new age, unpacking the relationships between people and the planet and where we go from here, to transform pathways to human progress.

Join us at the launch and find out more – including how Denmark ranks in this year’s Human Development Index – as UNDP and the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs invite you to join the virtual Danish launch of the Human Development Report’s 30th anniversary edition on 16 December.
