COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the 2030 Agenda

Abstract

The 2030 Agenda is a global initiative of the United Nations (UN), which contains 17 goals for sustainable development with 169 goals focused on guaranteeing population wellbeing and eradicating the main problems of humanity in terms of health, climate change, social inequalities, gender inequality, as well as the overexploitation of natural resources. With the emergence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes the respiratory disease COVID-19 and its expansion worldwide, the action plan of the 2030 agenda suffered various impacts that threaten the fulfillment of its objectives and goals, which since before the pandemic were not on track to be met, but with the arrival of the pandemic, the problems of humanity that gave rise to the 2030 agenda increased and were generated setbacks in the social, economic, political, environmental and human rights fields.
