Highlighting the relationship between consumption and human development \u00c7ak\u0131r also said: &#8220;We need to focus on a range of areas in climate action plans and set measurable targets.

In the new geological era called the Anthropocene, humans possess the power of shaping the planet according to their purposes. In this new era, how will the human development change? How do we find a new path that expands human freedom, choice and agency while reducing planetary pressures? The report focuses on these questions, while offering metrics and data to demonstrate that the recovery from the unprecedented pandemic can be environmentally and socially sustainable.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2020 #HDR Turkey Launch Event:<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Y0I0gsLvMoE\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cNext Frontier: Human Development and Anthropocene\u201d Human Development Report 2020 Launch Event, where INGEV was among the stakeholders, was held online under UNDP Turkey\u2019s umbrella on December 16th.
