Crisis on
achieving SDGs
by 2030

2. The United Nations Sustainable Development
Goals (SDGs) are targets for global development
adopted in September 2015, set to be achieved by
2030. All countries of the world have agreed to work

SDGs

3. SDG 1: No Poverty
Global poverty could rise to over one billion people due to the COVID-19
pandemic and more than half of the 395 million additional extreme poor would be
located in South Asia, which would be the hardest-hit region in the world,
The cost of the crisis in lost income could reach USD 500 million per day for the
world's poorest people, and the intensity and severity of poverty are likely to be
exacerbated dramatically.
395 Million additional extreme poor would be
located in South Asia

4. SDG 2: Zero Hunger
• Negative impact on Crop production of food products, Supply logistics. The
state of this health crisis threatening Global food system due to less this.
• The number of people facing hunger could double to 256 million this year
alone.
Today, over 800 million people face chronic
undernourishment and over 100 million people are
in need of lifesaving food assistance this could be
doubled.

5. SDG 3: Health & Well Being

6. SDG 4: Quality Education
• Nationwide closures are impacting over 91% of the worlds' student population.
• International Labour Organisation (ILO) estimates some 25 million people
could lose their jobs, with those in informal employment suffering most from
lack of social protection.
1.25 billion students affected worldwide due to
COVID19.

7. SDG 5: Gender Equality
• Women are more vulnerable to infection as frontline health care workers or
careers in the family and community.
• COVID19 negatively impact on Employment Opportunity.
• Workplace Feasibility been affected.
• Raise of Domestic Violence.
243 Million women and girls were victims of sexual
and/or physical violence by their partners in the last
12 months prior to the survey

8. SDG 6: Clean Water & Sanitation
• Women are more vulnerable to infection as frontline health care workers or
careers in the family and community.
• COVID19 negatively impact on Employment Opportunity.
• Workplace Feasibility been affected.
• Raise of Domestic Violence.
500 Million women and girls globally are estimated
to lack adequate facilities for menstrual hygiene
management.

9. SDG 7: Affordable and Clean Energy
Urgent needs to provide electricity for health facilities: around 1 billion people are
currently relying on health facilities without electricity.
Global energy investment would fall by 20%, or $400 billion, compared with 2019.
Almost 3 billion people remained without access to
clean fuels and technologies for cooking, residing
mainly in Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa.

10. SDG 8: Decent Work And Economic
Growth
• COVID-19 leads to dramatic unemployment, young people suffer the most.
one in six young people have stopped working since the onset of the
coronavirus pandemic while those who remain employed.
• Workers in the informal sector – who account for 61% of the global workforce
or 2 billion people – will need income support just to survive and feed their
families if their jobs disappear.
Covid-19 to wipe out equivalent of 195 Million jobs.

11. GOAL 9: Industry, innovation and
infrastructure
• Construction sites in many countries have shut down. And most sites that are
open have faced disrupted supply chains and operational restrictions.
• Because of strong rising interest in energy alternatives, the possible total
employment for renewables by 2030 is 20 million jobs.
• The number of people employed in renewable energy sectors is presently
around 2.3 million.
The industry represents 13% of Global GDP

12. SDG 10: Reduced Inequalities
• 91% believed due to the lockdown existing gaps in access to quality education
between high and low-income households will be exacerbated. This has
implications for future employment opportunities for children and youth in low-
income households which could further increase income inequality.
• In 2019, the World Food Programme estimated that at least 310 million
children in low- and middle- income countries were fed at school. these
children now face increased malnourishment and hunger.

13. SDG11: Sustainable cities and
communities
• Over 1,430 cities in 210 countries affected by Covid-19.
• Over 95 % of total cases in urban areas
• 1 billion people live in informal settlements and slums in overcrowded and
inadequate housing
• Target 11.5 indicating that we need to reduce the Death ratio by 2030
• Target 11.7: By 2030, provide universal access to safe, inclusive and
accessible, green and public spaces, in particular for women and children,
older persons and persons with disabilities been become a biggest ????
All type of Shared modes of transportation
are most affected.

14. GOAL 12: Sustainable consumption
and production
• The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted production and consumption systems
across the globe.
• Less than 3 per cent of the world’s water is fresh (drinkable), of which 2.5 per
cent is frozen in the Antarctica, Arctic and glaciers.
• Man is polluting water faster than nature can recycle and purify water in rivers
and lakes.
• 3 billion tonnes of food is wasted every year while almost 1 billion people go
undernourished and another 1 billion hungry.
• Overconsumption of food is detrimental to our health and the environment.
• The CDC has recommended that people returning to work minimize contact
with others, and urged companies to offer incentives to encourage people to
ride or drive alone.
Man is polluting water faster than nature can
recycle and purify water in rivers and lakes.

15. GOAL 12: Sustainable consumption
and production
• As industries, aviation, and other means of transportation stop, air pollution is
reduced.
• In the case of COVID-19, health impacts won’t stop at infection itself, but will be
amplified by broad economic and social fallout.
• Huge decreases in transportation and industrial activity resulted in a drop in daily
global carbon emissions of 17 percent
• More plastic- COVID-19 has vastly increased our use of plastic: gloves and
masks, plexiglass dividers in stores and offices, and disposable shopping bags.
• Weakening of climate policies Some countries and private companies may delay
or cancel investments in renewable energy or climate action policies if their
finances have been impacted by the pandemic.
Less money for climate resilience and renewable energy

16. GOAL 14: Life below water
• The impacts of COVID-19 on the health of the ocean have largely been positive due
to the reduction in various sectoral pressures that lead to pollution, overfishing,
habitat loss/conversion, invasive species introductions and the impacts of climate
change on the ocean.
• Ocean may enjoy some near-term benefits, the livelihoods and food security of tens
or even hundreds of millions of people may be seriously affected.
• COVID-19 has also had a dramatic effect on international shipping. While in the
near-term total cargo amounts have only declined slightly, about five percent year
• Tourism has been at a near standstill due to restrictions on international travel.
In order to restore fish stocks in the shortest time feasible, at
least to levels that can produce maximum sustainable yield as
determined by their biological characteristics

17. GOAL 15: Life on Land
• Around 1.6 billion people depend on forests for their livelihood the access for quality
health care if been affected.
• Migration matters
• Stanford University has suggested that deforestation could lead to a rise in the
occurrence of diseases like COVID-19.
• when forests are cleared for agricultural use, the chances for transmission of
zoonotic, or animal-to-human diseases, increase.
Combating Global Poaching And Trafficking have becomes a
serious issue

18. GOAL 16: Peace, justice and strong
institutions
• At the end of the day, it will be the levels of inequality and violence, the quality of
our governance systems and the degree to which we are able to provide justice for
all, that shape both our social capital and the way in which we steer through this
crisis.
• Covid-19 thus poses a real challenge, to put it mildly, and some have gone as far as
to warn the developing countries that the looming crisis threatens to devastate
employment gains, food security and equity in education.
The levels of Inequality and Violence been increasing.
