Continuing the thread of the 2019 and 2020 HDRs, this year's HDR carries

forward a conversation centered on inequalities while integrating other

important themes related to uncertainties in the Anthropocene: societal-level

transformations, mental health impacts, political polarization, but also, crucially,

opportunity. The Report explores how uncertainty in the Anthropocene is

changing, what is driving it, what it means for human development, and how

we can thrive in spite of it. The report argues that, in the end, doubling down on

human development is central to a more prosperous future for all.
