Abstract:
To urge nations worldwide to implement robust measures for enhancing human development and mitigating the pressures exerted on the planet by human activities in pursuit of sustainable development, this study encompasses 154 countries globally, using the seven major regions as focal points. Leveraging the Planetary Pressure Adjusted Human Development Index (PHDI) proposed by the United Nations Development Programme on December 15, 2020, as a metric for human development levels, this paper aims to standardize and internationally compare human development data from 1990 to 2021. Subsequently, employing the Theil index, the study assesses the global human development status across the seven regions to analyze spatial disparities in PHDI. Lastly, a comprehensive Generalized Diese Index Method (GDIM) is constructed to accurately reflect absolute and latent factors, dissecting the driving forces impacting global PHDI. The study explores critical pathways for high-quality human development within the harmonious coexistence between humanity and nature. It validates the robustness of GDIM results through a stepwise regression. Research findings indicate varying levels of PHDI development across regions, with a distinct spatial hierarchy evolving: higher human development levels in Europe and Eastern Europe, favorable levels in North and South America, similar levels in Oceania and Asia, and significant improvement potential in Africa. As globalization progresses, overall differences in PHDI gradually decrease; however, disparities persist between and within regions. Economic, technological, and per capita welfare effects consistently positively drive PHDI. In contrast, environmental pressure effects, social effects, per capita value-added effects, and output carbon intensity effects consistently exert hostile driving forces. Population size effects on PHDI show a fluctuating trend. Moreover, in terms of cumulative contribution values, the top three contributors to driving forces are economic, technological, and per capita welfare effects.
摘要:
敦促世界各国采取有力措施,促进人类发展,减轻人类活动为追求可持续发展而对地球施加的压力,这项研究涵盖了全球154个国家,以七大区域为重点。利用联合国开发计划署于2020年12月15日提出的行星压力调整人类发展指数(PHDI)作为衡量人类发展水平的指标,本文旨在对1990年至2021年的人类发展数据进行标准化和国际比较。随后,采用泰尔指数,该研究评估了七个地区的全球人类发展状况,以分析PHDI的空间差异。最后,构建了一种综合的广义指数法(GDIM),以准确反映绝对因素和潜在因素,剖析影响全球PHDI的驱动力。该研究探索了在人与自然和谐相处中实现人类高质量发展的关键途径。通过逐步回归验证了GDIM结果的稳健性。研究结果表明,各地区PHDI的发展水平各不相同,随着不同的空间层次结构的发展:欧洲和东欧的人类发展水平更高,北美和南美的有利水平,大洋洲和亚洲的水平相似,以及非洲的显著改善潜力。随着全球化的发展,PHDI的总体差异逐渐减少;然而,区域之间和区域内的差距仍然存在。经济,技术,人均福利效应持续积极推动PHDI。相比之下,环境压力效应,社会效应,人均增加值效应,产出碳强度效应始终发挥着敌对的驱动力。人口规模对PHDI的影响呈现波动趋势。此外,就累积贡献值而言,驱动力的三大贡献者是经济,技术,和人均福利效应。
