Governance mismatches is theme of 2023 Human Development Report

income countries; and stress and sadness are on the rise. Over the past two years, and for the first time ever, the global human development index has declined – setting global progress back to 2016-levels.

The 2023 HDR will be the first in a new series, focusing on why political and social polarization is intensifying across the world, and how to foster cooperation and collective action in the face of shared challenges.

During the panel session, panelist Professor Tan Sri Dr. Jemilah Mahmood, Executive Director, Sunway Centre for Planetary Health, Sunway University said “The 2022 HDR explained the very real challenges that come with the transition to a period in human history where our actions have a determining consequence on the state of the planet; where the health of planet and people are irrevocably intertwined and where we are struggling with uncertainties that humanity has not previously experienced. This uncertainty complex is cascading, and colliding, and we have to find a way out of it.”

Panelist Joseph D’Cruz said, “Governance of our economic systems are traditionally built on contestation. That limitless individual creative destruction no longer works when there are limits beyond our control – planetary boundaries. We need to bring citizens deeper into the process of developing policies, invest in social capital – education and healthcare, and political and economic governance systems can only function when built upon strong social foundations, trust, shared values and interest”.
