 Human Development Index (HDI)
 People and their capabilities → ultimate criteria for assessing the development, not
economic growth alone
 Two countries with the same level of GNI per capita can end up with different human
development outcomes

For adults for children of school

aged +25 years entering age

uses the logarithm

of income, why?

Take-home messages

• The HDI was created to emphasize that people and their capabilities should be the
ultimate criteria for assessing the development of a country, not economic growth
alone.
• Norway leads the HDI ranking 2018 while Colombia, together with Brazil, occupies
the 79th place in the HDI ranking 2018
• Access to modern energy is intrinsically linked with improvements in quality of life
• The challenges become even greater considering that by 2040 the global
population is projected to grow to 9.2 billion from 7.5 billion today.
• According to the 2018 census, Colombia population approached M48.3 and is
predicted to peak by 2050 reaching about M55.2

Take-home messages

• The dual challenge: Provide reliable and affordable energy to a growing

population and Reduce environmental impacts, including the risks of climate
change
• Increased energy efficiency and a shift to lower carbon energy sources will help
curb CO2 emissions, but not sufficiently to reach a 2 °C pathway.
• Innovative technology solutions and supportive policies are still needed to achieve
society’s emissions aspirations.
