Human development report 2020 : the next frontier : human development and the Anthropocene

We may be entering a new geologic age called the Anthropocene in which humans are a dominant force shaping the planet's future. That future is already taking frightening shape in many ways, from climate change to plunging biodiversity to the epidemic of plastics in our oceans. The strain on the planet mirrors the strain facing many societies. Indeed, planetary and social imbalances reinforce one another. As the 2019 Human Development Report made plain, many inequalities in human development continue to increase. Climate change, among other dangerous planetary changes, will only make them worse.
