UPSC CAPF – 2013
The correct option is B.
– The Human Development Report (HDR) 2013, titled “The Rise of the South: Human Progress in a Diverse World”, focused primarily on the significant development progress made by many countries in the developing world (“the South”).
– Its main themes included sustaining development momentum (A), confronting environmental pressure (C) in the context of sustainable development, and managing demographic change (D) as a factor influencing development trajectories.
– While peace and security are recognized as important prerequisites or enabling factors for development, they were not the central thematic focus of the HDR 2013 report itself, which concentrated more on economic, social, and environmental aspects of development progress in the South.
The HDR series typically explores specific themes each year related to human development. The 2013 report highlighted how countries in the South were increasingly becoming drivers of global growth and how they face challenges and opportunities in sustaining this progress, managing environmental issues, and harnessing demographic shifts.
