UN Proposes New Global Dashboard for Inclusive, Balanced, and Sustainable Development Assessment

Kathmandu. The United Nations has proposed a new global 'dashboard' to assess the development of countries around the world in a more inclusive, balanced, and sustainable manner. The proposal aims to include the standard of living of citizens, social conditions, equality, and environmental protection as important bases for development, along with Gross Domestic Product.

The report titled 'Measuring Progress for People and Planet' was released by an independent high-level expert group of the United Nations Secretary-General, Antonio Guterres. The report gives equal importance to human welfare, social justice, and environmental sustainability along with economic growth.
