Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) include 17 goals and 169 targets for development of society, economy, and environment. SDGs envisage achieving human prosperity through reducing poverty, ensuring equality, eliminating hunger, mitigating climate change, managing resources, and protecting environment. SDGs call for effective implementation of policies for achieving the targeted goals. COVID-19 pandemic affected both the developed and developing countries due to unprecedented multidimensional crisis leading to global recession. COVID-10 crisis has exposed multi-faced vulnerability in terms of healthcare, education, social protection, regional and global value chains, international production networks, tourism, financial markets, energy resources, and environmental protection. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted worldwide and challenged the life style drastically, which posed the questions to rethink a more sustainable living specifically the world we want to live in, rebuilding in a more sustainable and equitable way of life, and the role of multiple policies for this transformation and achieving SDGs in the new post-COVID 19 world. All this pose diverse regional challenges and opportunities to policy makers to achieve SDGs. Achieving the SDGs emphasize the role of individuals and societal transformation for sustainability and the contribution to the survival and prosperity of humanity, including critical thinking skills, and rebuilding more resilient systems.
