In our world, 1.1 billion people lack access to safe drinking water, and 2.6 billion are without basic sanitation services. Education disparities continue with 77 million children out of school, disproportionately affecting those with disabilities. Chronic diseases and poverty hinder development, highlighting the need for new indices like the Inequality Adjusted HDI and Multidimensional Poverty Index. The sustainability crisis poses the greatest challenge to human development, demanding innovative solutions for empowerment and inclusion, as we aspire to a better future for all.
