Crown Princess Victoria also had a busy week! On December 15th, she attended the digital global launch of the UN Human Development Report 2020. In a speech, she said: “Climate change, pollution, loss of biodiversity… From the deepest ocean to the highest mountain, there is not a single corner of the planet that is unaffected by us humans. The good news is that it is not yet too late to address these challenges. And, as this report shows, human development is a key part of the solution.”
