BRUSSELS LAUNCH
Human Development Report 2020 ‘The next frontier: Human development and the Anthropocene’ Wednesday, 27 January 2021 17:00 – 18:00 CET
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation of Belgium and the UN Development Programme (UNDP) are delighted to invite you to a digital launch and discussion on the Human Development Report 2020. 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.
Belgium is a strong supporter of the UN and one of UNDP’s partners at core. Our longstanding cooperation has helped improve the lives of millions of people, especially in the Least Developed Countries, including areas affected by conflict or post-conflict challenges.
