The ISC wins a prestigious Lovie award for ‘Website Craft / Best Writing - Editorial’

At the online ceremony on 17 November 2021, the ISC took the virtual stage alongside the BBC, Financial Times, ABBA, Al Jazeera, Deutsche Welle and other digital heavyweights. The winners were challenged to pack their acceptance speeches in #7WordsofLovie. Ours were “Science: For Love of People and Planet”, reflecting the ISC’s mission to advance science as a global public good, as well as the key messages in the Conversations in Rethinking Human Development report:

The web-report takes readers through nine key directions to rethink the concept of human development, guided by experts across various disciplines and countries. It features a series of commentaries and essays that reflect on the fundamental shifts that have taken place in the past 30 years since the first Human Development report in 1990, and what this means for our understanding and application of the term ‘human development’.

This is an ongoing journey – we will continue eliciting other emergent narratives and gathering new voices to further unpack and address the possibilities of rethinking human development measures.
