COVID-19 has unleashed an unprecedented human development crisis putting at risk the hard fought gains of the last decades. It is a wake up call on the devastating effects of the increasing pressure we are placing on our planet. But in the endeavor of confronting the multiple implications of this crisis, there is also an opportunity to reimagine what is possible and desirable for the future. Policies are currently being designed to confront it and massive additional financial resources are being mobilized. A key question is therefore how to make this crisis an opportunity for positive change. In the lead up to the 2020 Human Development Report, which will focus on how to reset our relationship with nature, UNDP and UNEP are jointly organising a high level dialogue to explore how can we build back better for more sustainable and egalitarian societies.<\/p>\n
