Good morning, this is Pip. Today, we’re hearing how the overlapping crises of the past two years have dealt a staggering blow to global development. We’re also getting an insight into the crackdown on freedoms in Hong Kong, and covering criticism of the WHO’s treatment of the conflict in Tigray. |

Overlapping crises set back development in 9 out of 10 countries.
Back-to-back crises have set back human development for two consecutive years for the first time on record, a new report from the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) released this morning has revealed. Overlapping catastrophes during the past two years including the Covid-19 pandemic, a rise in armed conflict and natural disasters fuelled by climate change have reversed human development around the world, erasing progress made since 2016.
