TOPIC :   THE TERRIBLE DISASTER ‘COVID-19’ AND THE  ROLE OF UNITED NATION SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT   GOALS

 

 

Covid-19  pandemic shows that sustainable development goes beyond national strategies .Every individual needs to make health decisions that meet personal needs as well as the needs of the broader community, such as using facemasks on public transport, observing social distancing advice and self quarantining when necessary. Such decisions can help to curb transmission and reduce illness, deaths and economic impacts . 

The World Health Organization officially declared the outbreak of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) a public health emergency of international concern on 30 January 2020. A few months later, the world is dealing with a crisis of immense proportions. The pandemic has shown that this crisis is fuelled by poverty, hunger, weak health systems and lack of clean water and sanitation, education and global cooperation.  The world has committed to implementing the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development with 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by United Nations (UN) Member States in September 2015 . The overarching aim "leave no one behind" is threatened by the current growing inequalities. While the multiplied global challenges, economic and financial shocks associated with COVID-19 make financing for sustainability even more difficult .

As per government order all the education institutions has been closed in all the states and every student are having their online classes through online mood of communication . The whole world has become digital now due to the break out of the pendamic , “ covid-19” but the thing is that our country is not digitally well developed in comparison to other countries like China , America , Japan etc and students faces many problem regarding online classes like network problem , unable to hear the audio or unable to see the screen . It’s all because of poor infrastructure in the field of modern digital technology .

The impact of the pandemic on society is unclear, long-lasting, and difficult to measure. Consequently, contributions to the literature and research in this aspect are a necessity. This study analyses critical aspects regarding the global pandemic's impact on the achievement of the SDGs and highlights the inter dependencies between the goals in light of the new circumstances through a synopsis of the current literature, empirical observation and analytical evaluation based on problem-oriented qualitative group discussions of selected scholars and practitioners. SDG generated contribute to furthering our understanding of post-COVID-19 recovery.  First, an overview of the global evolution of the SDGs, their forthcoming nature in the COVID-19 pandemic and post-pandemic recovery is provided. Second, observations and reflections related to the pandemic's consequences for the sectors of society that were the most immediately affected by the pandemic , such as health (SDG3), education (SDG4), economy (SDG8), consumption/production (SDG12) and climate (SDG13), are presented. Thereafter, interconnections between SDGs are analyzed to identify synergies that can guide the integration of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development in recovery processes. Finally, recommendations are presented as a way forward. The SDGs have transformed global efforts to foster development and enhance sustainability. The SDGs represent, in many ways, departure from previous approaches to doing development, emphasizing the universality of assumed targets, a much wider thematic agenda, new central actors, and an important focus on financing for development. All of these are deeply affected by the COVID-19 crisis. The new 2030 Agenda has become more attractive and inspiring than many commentators would have initially assessed .

Covid-19 has created huge damage in the field of finance , economy and education . Till now many students are unable to appear in their final exams or entrance exams for medical , engineering or other courses and  the students are going through a state of depression and anxiety whether the exams will be conducted or cancelled as all the exams by now has been prosponed .We people have no idea when this pandemic finally came to an end but till then we people have to stay careful and stay hopeful that everything will become fine soon and one must following the rules as directed by the government in order to control the spread of corona virus  .
