The National Human Development Report presented recently in Chisinau says there is a close connection between human development and climate change. “The global warming influences directly the poverty level. The winter wheat harvest can decrease by 18-39% by 2020 and 22-50% by 2050 as a result of climate change,” the report authors say, quoted by Info-Prim Neo. The 2007 drought showed that Moldova's food security is exposed to great risks if no adaptation strategies will be in place. As there was not enough precipitation, the 2007 wheat yield of 13.1 quintals per hectare was practically similar to the 1965 yield of 15.8 quintals. Thus, the efforts made during four decades to develop Moldova's agricultural sector were practically reduced to zero. Moldova’s 2009/2010 National Human Development Report also includes the Human Development Index (HDI). The current HDI for Moldova is equal to 0.733. By this index, Moldova ranks the last but one among the former Soviet and Eastern European states. HDI is a summary indicator of people's well-being, combining several measures of human development: a long and healthy life (measured by life expectancy at birth), a good level of education (measured by adult literacy rate, combined with total rate of enrollment in primary, secondary and tertiary education) and decent living conditions (measured by GDP per capita). The UNDP experts say Moldova made insignificant progress in all the areas. Life expectancy for women is 73.2 years, while for men – 65.6 years, up 0.6% and, respectively, 0.4%. The rate of enrollment in primary education has decreased following the unofficial migration of parents together with their children – from 100% during 2000-2001 to 94% during 2007-2008. Another cause for such a situation is the modification of the education policies during 2006-2007. The state planned to orientate more students from universities to vocational schools and colleges. However, many young people decided to abandon education despite the goals pursued by such policies. The number of students in universities fell from 357 per 10,000 people during 2006-2007 to 322 per 10,00 people during 2007-2008. The 2009/2010 National Human Development Report marks the 15th anniversary since the publication of the first NHDR in Moldova in 1995, Info-Prim Neo reports.
