Abstract

The UN has announced 17 goals (sustainable development goals [SDGs]) to be met by 2030. It is estimatedthat one of every ten people on the planet now lives in areas that come under Decrees of Climate and/orEnvironmental emergency. Also, linear management resources/materials is another issue where we couldnot reach circular economy and SDG12. It is in this same world in 2020 (on a global scale, COVID-19 startedmultiplying in 2020 though it was first identified in Wuhan, China in 2019) that a microscopic virus unleashedbiological havoc and initiated a healthcare crisis, one from which the world has not yet come out of. It hasdisastrously impacted human life from all angles- livelihoods, survival, socialization, and economics. Bothenvironmental imbalances, as well as the pandemic, are associated with the same roots of origin, humanviolation of nature. The article is based on the challenges of sustainability and the impact of COVID 19 totrigger it.
