MAIN MESSAGES
Progress in human development is threatened by environmental and inequality trends
Environmental threats hurt the poorest the most
Development aspirations of poor people must go hand in hand with enhanced sustainability
But larger structural changes are also needed
Equity and sustainability are inextricably linked, one must be achieved with the other

Progress in human development is threatened by environmental and inequality trends

Environment and inequality threats to human development

… and development gaps will be harder to close

HDI losses from inequality largest in low and medium HDI countries
Loss in HDI due to multidimensional inequality by HDI level

Gender Inequality and Sustainability
Impact of disasters is much greater for women• Driven by unequal exposure, access and capabilities
Gender inequalities are associated with greater environmental degradation
• Countries with more women in parliament more likely to set aside protected land areas
Positive synergy from women’s participation• Engaging women in disaster risk mapping
associated with greater empowerment and resilience
![Page 8: Sustainability and Equity: A better future for all Human Development Report 2011](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062814/568167e4550346895ddd4e4a/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Disparities in power aggravate unequal environmental impacts
Power disparities shape patterns of deprivation• Eg. Toxic waste facilities located predominantly in
working class and minority neighbourhoods
Empowerment can improve environmental sustainability• Eg. relatively less deforestation in areas with more
women’s and environmental NGOs
Developing countries and marginalized groups have proportionally less influence on global governance

Environmental threats hurt the poorest the most

Climate change exacerbates chronic environmental threats
Rising global temperatures and sea levels
Likelihood of natural disasters increasing
• average annual number doubled over 25 years
Loss of ecosystems threatens livelihoods
• Low HDI countries experience greatest forest cover losses (11% since 1990)
• Poorest cannot replace lost ecological infrastructure (eg. mangroves) with built systems
![Page 11: Sustainability and Equity: A better future for all Human Development Report 2011](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062814/568167e4550346895ddd4e4a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Poorest countries worst affected by changes in rain
Avg. value, 1951 - 1980
Avg. value, 2000s

The most disadvantaged people carry a double burden
Double burden of the poor: vulnerability & deprivation
• Nearly 90% lack access to modern cooking fuels
• 80% lack adequate sanitation
• 35% lack clean water
Overlapping deprivations revealed by our measures:
• 80% experience two or more deprivations
• 29% face all three.

Learning from local success
Numerous small scale programmes and projects are successful in promoting positive synergies.
• Community management of natural resources can lead to better environmental and human development outcomes.
• Access to affordable clean energy can lead to better health, education and economic outcomes.

Rising to the policy challenges: national levers for change
Clean and safe environment – a right not a privilege.
Integrating equity into the design, implementation & monitoring of policies.

Development needs far exceed current levels of ODA

Macro shifts require global innovations
New financing source: • Currency Transactions Tax
Feasibility of implementation and growing high-level support.
• Environmental finance
Private-Public Partnerships
Global Governance:
Reforms to enable greater equity and access to finance.
Participation and accountability – locally, nationally and globally

On the way to Rio+20
Equity and environmental sustainability must go hand in hand
Expanding choices of the poor – the route to long term sustainability
Empowerment, accountability and participation are of both intrinsic and instrumental value in this path
![Page 21: Sustainability and Equity: A better future for all Human Development Report 2011](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062814/568167e4550346895ddd4e4a/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Expanding choices for current and future generations requires addressing
both equity and sustainability
HDR 2011 is about how this can and must be done
