Presented by UNDP

The world is facing an inflection point in the development landscape. The ongoing Covid-19 pandemic has laid bare structural vulnerabilities in our societies. Apart from causing more than 2.5 million direct deaths over the past year, the pandemic has caused a sharp reversal in human development after decades of progress. Insecurities have touched nearly every person in the world. Yet the Covid-19 pandemic is just one manifestation of an increasingly volatile world where compounding risks are casting doubts on assumptions about the link between development and security.

This session discusses the findings in the forthcoming Special Report on the Next Generation of Human Security by the United Nations Development Programme. The concept of Human Security was first launched in 1994, firmly placing people at the heart of the security debate. In retrospective, the visionary idea of human security came in a period of relative stability and progress. Today, new interconnected challenges from natural and social systems are interacting with structural development challenges and technological progress to create new and overlapping human security threats, spanning country borders and creating insecurity well beyond fragile settings.

Findings from the report show that a majority of the global population feel worried about violence and affected by high levels of insecurity. The emerging disconnect between development and security shows blind spots in current approaches and call for a new generation of human security policies.
