The Human Development Report Office (HDRO) works to publish the Human Development Report (HDR), an independent report commissioned by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). The mission of the HDRO is to advance human development. The goal is to contribute towards the expansion of opportunities, choice and freedom. The office works towards this goal by promoting innovative new ideas, advocating practical policy changes, and constructively challenging policies and approaches that constrain human development. The office works with others to achieve change through writing and research, data analysis and presentation, support to national and regional analysis and outreach and advocacy work. The HDRO also works on the Human Development Index (HDI), which is a summary measure of average achievement in key dimensions of human development: a long and healthy life, being knowledgeable and have a decent standard of living.

Breaking the gridlock: Reimagining cooperation in a polarized world
‘Why does pursuing the ambitions of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Paris Agreement feel like a half-hearted slog through quicksand?Why in many places does restoring peace, even pauses or ceasefires as hopeful preludes to peace, feel so elusive?
Why are we immobilized on digital governance while artificial intelligence races ahead in a data goldrush?
In short, why are we so stuck? And how do we get unstuck without resorting myopically to violence or isolationism? These questions motivate the 2023/2024 Human Development Report.’ HDRO

Studio Mnemonic developed the concept and design for the cover for the 2023/2024 Human Development Report.
We also supported the Human Development Report Office in NYC in the development of a wider visual language.
