UNITED NATIONS, United States: Humanity recorded an unexpected and “unsettling” slowdown in development in 2024 as the global post-pandemic recovery began losing steam, well before President Donald Trump dramatically cut US international aid, the UN warned on Tuesday.
The world had rebounded from the shock of the Covid-19 pandemic by 2023, as measured by the UN´s Human Development Index (HDI), which charts living standards, health and education.
But that rebound appears to be losing momentum, according to the United Nations Development Programme´s annual report, released Tuesday.
