• Message of the report
The Concept and its Evolution
• “People are the real wealth of a nation; human development is a process of enlarging people’s choices.” (1990)
• “Human Development is the expansion of people’s freedoms to live long, healthy and creative lives; to advance other goals they have reason to value; and to engage actively in shaping development equitably and sustainably on a shared planet. People are both the beneficiaries and the drivers of human development, as individuals and in groups.” (2010)
• “Sustainable human development is the expansion of the substantive freedoms of people today while making reasonable efforts to avoid seriously compromising those of future generations.” (2011)
How to calculate Human Development Index
Components• Life Expectancy at Birth
• Expected years of Schooling• Mean Years of Schooling
• Gross National Income Per Capita
Environmental and inequality trends threaten
human development progress
Why equity and sustainability?
How can we….
Maintain progress in ways that are equitable and that do not harm the environment?
Meet the development aspirations of poor people worldwide?
Promote policies that will advance both equity and sustainability?
Environment and Climate Change
Global temperatures are rising: Now average 0.75°C higher than at the beginning of the 20thcentury.
Sea level is rising: 20 centimeters higher today than in 1870
Likelihood of natural disasters is increasing: Average number per year doubled over 25 years
Loss of forest cover threatens livelihoods and biodiversity: Low HDI countries experience greatest losses (11%)
Impact on the Poor: Household level
By 2050, the global HDI would be:
19% higher than it is today.• Largest increase in developing
countries (24%).• 44% for Sub-Saharan Africa and
36% for South Asia.
8% lower in an environmental challenge scenario.• 12% for South Asia and Sub-
Saharan Africa.
15% lower in an environmental disaster scenario.• Dramatic impact on developing
countries• 24% for Sub-Saharan Africa and
22% for South Asia.
Environmental trends threaten human development progress
Inequalities generate losses on human dev’t and threaten future progress
Our Inequality-adjusted HDI reveals losses of 23% of HDI globally.
Health and education disparities are narrowing, but income inequality is worsening. • Average country-level income inequality increased around 20 percent over
1990–2005.
Higher levels of gender inequality (GII) is associated with lower levels of sustainability.• Meeting unmet need for family planning could cut carbon emissions by
about 17% by 2050.
1.5 billion people lack electricity, 2.6 billion lack access to basic sanitation.• If current trends continue, more people will lack access to modern energy
in 2030 than today.
Negative impact on poor households
Education:
• Environmental challenges constrain both enrolment and progress of enrolled children.
Livelihoods:
• Significant risks for 350 million people who rely on forests for subsistence and incomes.• Similarly for 45 million (6 million are women) that fish for a
living. Health:
• Indoor air pollution kills 11 times more people in low HDI countries• Each year 3 million children under age 5 die from
environment-related diseases.
The Paradigm Shift
Change the development model towards more sustainable production and consumption patterns
Clean and safe environment – a right not a privilege.• Promote more inclusive participation in governance and policy-making by
those most vulnerable to environmental hazards.
Meeting development aspirations of poor people while preserving the environment. • Promising examples of win-win policies exist at the national level.
The scale of the challenge demands massive simultaneous investment and innovation.
For a macro shift, we need global innovations
Current development finance is insufficient and with unequal access (countries and sectors).
New financing sources: Currency Transactions Tax• Feasibility of implementation and growing high-level support
Reforms for greater equity and access to finance.• State role in catalyzing private resources• “Deal-flow” climate facilities to help local actors with the complex
requirements to access climate finance• National climate funds to promote blending of resources
For a macro shift, we need global innovations
Swift implementation of UN Universal Energy Access Initiative.• Global campaign• Removing barriers to technology diffusion • Support of National low-emission, climate-resilient
development strategies.
Achieving this would increase CO2 emissions by only 0.8%• Estimated annual investment is less than an eighth of annual
subsidies for fossil fuel.
2011 Human Development Report Indices and Turkey
Human Development Index 2011
• 2011 Human Development Index covers record 187 countries and territories, puts Norway at top, DR Congo last.
• Norway, Australia and the Netherlands lead the world in the 2011 Human Development Index (HDI).
• The Democratic Republic of Congo, Niger and Burundi are at the bottom of the Human Development Report’s annual rankings of national achievement in health, education and income.
• The United States, New Zealand, Canada, Ireland, Liechtenstein, Germany and Sweden round out the top 10 countries in the 2011 HDI.
Turkey’s Human Development
•Turkey’s HDI value for 2011 is 0.699—in the high human development category—positioning the country at 92 out of 187 countries and territories.
• Between 1980 and 2011, Turkey’s HDI value increased from 0.463 to 0.699, an increase of 51.0 per cent or average annual increase of about 1.3 per cent.

Inequality and HDIs• The IHDI equals the HDI when there is no inequality across people.
• It represents the actual level of human development.
• The new Gender Inequality Index (GII) reflects women’s disadvantages in three dimensions – reproductive health, empowerment, and economic activity
•MPI identifies multiple deprivations in the same hhs in education, health and standard of living.
•Individuals living above the income poverty line may still suffer deprivations in education, health and other living conditions.

Prescriptive Recipe:
• Development aspirations of poor to be met in a framework of global and local sustainability
• an incremental approach is not enough; A macro shift is needed
•Promoting human development requires addressing sustainability.
• This can and should be done in ways that are equitable and empowering
