The\u00a0Human Development Report<\/a><\/em> is an independent publication commissioned by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).

\"Human<\/a>The role of the Advisory Panel<\/a> is to provide intellectual advice and guidance to the team involved in preparing the report. \u00a0The Advisory Panel includes eminent thinkers and practitioners with diverse expertise on different aspects of development. The 2011 Report will focus on the theme of growing environmental unsustainability alongside advances in most other dimensions of human development. Prof. Adil Najam is a leading authority on issues related to sustainable development.

The Pardee Center at Boston University has been focussed on issues related to human development from its very inception, as was reflected in the choice of Nobel-winning economist Amartya Sen as the very first Pardee Visiting Professor in 2001-02<\/a>. That commitment to the concept of human development, and its actualization, remains central to the Pardee Center’s mission and research and is reflected in most of the research and activities undertaken at the Center.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
