With provocative analyses and clear policy recommendations, regional HDRs have examined such critical issues as political empowerment in the Arab states, food security in Africa, climate change in Asia, treatment of ethnic minorities in Central Europe and challenges of inequality and citizens' security in Latin America and the Caribbean.

4 National Human Development Reports: Since the release of the first national HDR in 1992, national HDRs have been produced in 140 countries by local editorial teams with UNDP support. These reports some 700. to date bring a Human Development perspective to national policy concerns through local consultations and research. National HDRs have covered many key Development issues, from climate change to youth employment to inequalities driven by gender or ethnicity.
