Still, most corporations lack an integrated framework to develop a strategic, balanced, and effective approach to achieving excellence in CSR. Considering the world’s critical situation during the COVID-19 pandemic, such a framework is even more crucial now. We suggest subsuming CRS categories under Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) be used and that they subsume CSR categories since SDGs are a comprehensive agenda designed for the whole planet. This study presents a new CSR drivers model and a novel comprehensive CSR model. Then, it highlights the advantages of integrating CSR and SDGs in a new framework. The proposed framework benefits from both CSR and SDGs, addresses current and future needs, and offers a better roadmap with more measurable outcomes.</div> </section> <div id="html-keywords"> <div class="html-gwd-group"><div id="html-keywords-title">Keywords: </div><a href="/search?q=Corporate+Social+Responsibility">Corporate Social Responsibility</a>; <a href="/search?q=Sustainable+Development+Goals">Sustainable Development Goals</a>; <a href="/search?q=business+sustainability">business sustainability</a>; <a href="/search?q=comprehensive+CSR+model">comprehensive CSR model</a>; <a href="/search?q=CSR+drivers+model">CSR drivers model</a></div> <div> </div> </div> </div> </p> </div> </section> </div> <div class="hypothesis_container"> <ul class="menu html-nav" data-prev-node="#html-quick-links-title"> </ul> <div class="html-body"> <section id='sec1-sustainability-14-01222' type='intro'><h2 data-nested='1'> 1. Introduction</h2><div class='html-p'>Businesses create new jobs and produce wealth. But if they fail to act responsibly, they can also pose a threat to society and the environment. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) can mitigate corporate damage by encouraging socially responsible, and environmentally-friendly, actions [<a href="#B1-sustainability-14-01222" class="html-bibr">1</a>]. A CSR plan establishes a strategy to support socio-economic and environmental sustainability through management and stakeholder involvement [<a href="#B2-sustainability-14-01222" class="html-bibr">2</a>]. An increasingly populated planet struggling with massive climate change problems provides evidence of why businesses should not engage in CSR from a solely local context since they exist within an interconnected world. Short-term corporate actions have irrefutable impacts on the environment, society, and economy which is why the long-term perspective of CSR is important for the health of the planet. </div><div class='html-p'>The current pandemic of COVID-19 has highlighted the significance of CSR. Humans are now more aware than ever of how connected everyone is around the globe, and how irresponsible action can wreak havoc for all. The Coronavirus began with just one person, spread through global travel and product transports, and in less than a year, it spread to nearly every country [<a href="#B3-sustainability-14-01222" class="html-bibr">3</a>]. Social life has changed since the COVID-19 outbreak. The global stock market fluctuation, the quarantine measures, and social distancing were just some of the effects. Businesses are negatively impacted by the Corona Virus [<a href="#B4-sustainability-14-01222" class="html-bibr">4</a>] such as temporary or permanent closures, layoffs [<a href="#B5-sustainability-14-01222" class="html-bibr">5</a>], and cash flow constraints [<a href="#B6-sustainability-14-01222" class="html-bibr">6</a>]. Such unexpected changes in the world highlight the importance of CSR. It could motivate companies to revise their approach to social responsibility, realizing that a simple mistake or irresponsible action would have a major impact worldwide. Meanwhile, corporations recognize the need to equip themselves with risk and emergency management tools for their own benefit as well as that of their society [<a href="#B7-sustainability-14-01222" class="html-bibr">7</a>].</div><div class='html-p'>CSR played a huge role in the business world even before the start of the pandemic. Corporations have invested in socially responsible plans out of ethical and philanthropic purposes or financial ones for years. But not many of these plans were systematically designed. Each company scanned their society’s issues and challenges, picked one or a few of the matters based on their own limited knowledge, and tried to make a small difference in a localized context. Most companies did not have the facilities to properly measure the final effects of their contributions. A well-designed framework, the most comprehensive one in the world, is proposed in this study to help companies structure their CSR plans. This framework is the SDGs mapped out by the United Nations (UN).</div><div class='html-p'>According to the United Nations [<a href="#B8-sustainability-14-01222" class="html-bibr">8</a>], Sustainable Development is “the development which meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs”. SDGs consist of 17 goals, as illustrated in Tabe-2, over the period of 2015–2030. Individuals, communities, small businesses, and large corporations all benefit from the SDGs [<a href="#B9-sustainability-14-01222" class="html-bibr">9</a>]. Global experts’ knowledge and the opinions of governments, organizations, institutions, as well as the voices of millions of people were used to establish the SDGs. The 17 Sustainable Development goals are an ideal framework for CSR plans. In addition to addressing the same general purpose as CSR, which is the wellbeing of society, SDGs are based on the problems of the current and future world. The SDGs receive funding every year, and their impact has been substantial. The SDGs are already widely known and globally recognized, making this course of action an immediate opportunity. This study demonstrates how SDGs as a framework for CSR will benefit people, the planet, and corporations themselves. Additionally, the SDGs serve as a basis for the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), the Community Development Program (CDP), the International Integrated Reporting Council (IIRC), and the Climate Disclosure Standards Board (CDSP). Corporations’ contributions to the SDGs are disclosed by these institutions. Furthermore, these five standard-setting institutions have formally agreed to work together to develop a comprehensive report on corporate sustainability and corporate responsibility in September 2020 [<a href="#B10-sustainability-14-01222" class="html-bibr">10</a>], that enhances CSR communication of firms if they are SDG-related.</div><div class='html-p'>This study offers a new perspective on CSR implementation: a perspective that results in worldwide and sustainable impacts. We first investigate CSR drivers in a way that no one has done before, and suggest CSR benefits for corporations on the basis of recent literature reviews then introduce a new model for CSR that integrates previous models and also adds new dimensions. Second, we introduce the SDGs and discuss their status and significant progress around the world based on the United Nations’ annual reports.

Corporate Social Responsibility</h2><div class='html-p'>Corporate Social Responsibility was formulated as a cohesive concept in the 1950s and expanded in the 1960s [<a href="#B11-sustainability-14-01222" class="html-bibr">11</a>]. The debate was whether corporations should go beyond their own shareholders’ value to support society’s needs, or such effort was beyond corporations’ responsibilities. To be effective, CSR must combine theory with practice. Fortunately, since the 1960s, both corporations and researchers have played a huge role in developing CSR [<a href="#B12-sustainability-14-01222" class="html-bibr">12</a>]. </div><div class='html-p'>CSR has a close relationship with a variety of terms and concepts that have evolved over time: Corporate sustainability [<a href="#B13-sustainability-14-01222" class="html-bibr">13</a>], corporate citizenship [<a href="#B14-sustainability-14-01222" class="html-bibr">14</a>], corporate responsibility [<a href="#B15-sustainability-14-01222" class="html-bibr">15</a>], corporate social performance [<a href="#B16-sustainability-14-01222" class="html-bibr">16</a>] corporate reputation [<a href="#B17-sustainability-14-01222" class="html-bibr">17</a>,<a href="#B18-sustainability-14-01222" class="html-bibr">18</a>], business ethics [<a href="#B19-sustainability-14-01222" class="html-bibr">19</a>] and corporate philanthropy [<a href="#B20-sustainability-14-01222" class="html-bibr">20</a>]. This article, however, will focus on the original concept. </div><div class='html-p'>Currently, the Coronavirus pandemic has highlighted the importance of businesses CSR strategies. In response to the crisis, some corporations remained loyal to their understanding of ethics, some “stepped up” and helped their society with all the means at their disposal, while some others took advantage of the situation and tried to gain short-term benefits [<a href="#B21-sustainability-14-01222" class="html-bibr">21</a>]. The long-term consequences of such short-term profit-taking, however, can lead to reputation damage, or even worse, missing out on opportunities to improve their public image and credibility. Through the pandemic corporations have been forced to choose between helping society or focusing on their survival. Some companies have chosen to use SDGs as a guideline in order to create a balance between their own interests and society’s wellbeing [<a href="#B22-sustainability-14-01222" class="html-bibr">22</a>]. Some examples would be investments that generate stock returns [<a href="#B23-sustainability-14-01222" class="html-bibr">23</a>,<a href="#B24-sustainability-14-01222" class="html-bibr">24</a>] or investments in COVID-19 protection, prevention, treatment and rehabilitation [<a href="#B25-sustainability-14-01222" class="html-bibr">25</a>] to offset the economic and health-related impacts of COVID. </div><div class='html-p'>With the global Coronavirus outbreak, the world has realized the importance of CSR more.

Under such circumstances, a portion of a corporation’s CSR budget could be allocated to their supply chain partners in the form of loans or donations, which would be of great help until the crisis is over. In return, corporations keep their reliable suppliers and avoid transition costs and risks. Another example would be corporations that support their employees’ health and financial status by preparing the infrastructure for them to work from home. As a result, employee satisfaction and trust increased, while the risk of employee loss was decreased.

Comprehensive CSR Model</h4><div class='html-p'>CSR activities go beyond ethical and philanthropic purposes. They add value to companies. CSR is more than keeping socially responsible; it is also about business profitability. Corporate governance on the other hand, provides a balance between the corporation’s survival and financial performance, which are in the shareholders’ highest interests, and the interests of stakeholders, which indirectly promote CSR [<a href="#B32-sustainability-14-01222" class="html-bibr">32</a>]. The corporate governance mechanisms protect the interests of shareholders, managers, directors, employees, and other stakeholders [<a href="#B130-sustainability-14-01222" class="html-bibr">130</a>,<a href="#B131-sustainability-14-01222" class="html-bibr">131</a>]. Internal corporate governance aids in maximizing the firm’s profit, and CSR is one effective way to do so since both corporate governance and CSR enhance firms’ performance [<a href="#B132-sustainability-14-01222" class="html-bibr">132</a>] as shown in Figure-2.</div><div class='html-p'><a href="#sustainability-14-01222-f002" class="html-fig">Figure 2</a> also illustrates four aspects of CSR including (1) CSR targets and responsibilities, (2) visions, (3) scope, (4) impact and implementation dimensions combined with CSR drivers (based on Figure-1) and CSR corporate value creation (based on Table-1).</div><div class='html-p'>CSR is encouraged by eleven drivers, as discussed earlier. And corporations have their own targets as a response to CSR drivers’ demands. As they implement long-term and short-term CSR visions to achieve their current and future objectives, they also consider the scope of their CSR strategies based on the area of their firm’s impact. They then implement their social, environmental, and economic CSR plans which brings them both short- and long-term corporate benefits which are the value created by CSR activities. Such value results in the firm’s performance development and eventually will benefit the internal CSR drivers the most.</div><div class='html-p'><b>Targets:</b> Based of Carroll’s Pyramid of Corporate Social Responsibility (Carroll, 1991), corporations contribute to CSR for four purposes. First, philanthropic responsibilities are based on public expectations. According to this purpose, corporations dedicate their resources to develop the well-being of their community and society. The second purpose is ethics, which means corporations avoid harming their natural and socio-economic environment by doing what is right and just. Next governmental legislation can bolster CSR and motivate corporations to contribute more, by providing subsidies, or privileges over corporations’ competitors [<a href="#B65-sustainability-14-01222" class="html-bibr">65</a>]. The last purpose is financial. As illustrated in Table-1, CSR positively affects corporate image and reputation, brand, customer loyalty and satisfaction. It increases purchase intentions, and consequently, profits.</div><div class='html-p'><b>Vision:</b> A company’s CSR investment is based on its expected return. Top business strategies require long-term visions. That is why CSR strategies better consider long-term outcomes as well as immediate benefits. Corporate status plays a role in this choice. Companies choose short-term plans over long-term ones when there is a crisis or emergency forcing them to act immediately or they demand instant results. However, we recommend that companies adopt their CSR strategies in a way that leads to long-term and sustainable results.</div><div class='html-p'><b>Scope:</b> CSR is applied on a global, national, regional, local, or even internal scope. As a result of their global value chains and markets, international and multinational corporations affect more people. National businesses cover a smaller area relatively, and local businesses focus their CSR activities on their local or regional community and limited number of stakeholders. Internal CSR is important since employees and shareholders are directly affected by the decisions of corporations [<a href="#B133-sustainability-14-01222" class="html-bibr">133</a>]. Employees’ health and safety, education and development, human rights, and salary are examples that are directly the corporations’ internal responsibility [<a href="#B134-sustainability-14-01222" class="html-bibr">134</a>].</div><div class='html-p'><b>Dimensions and Implementation:</b> CSR implementation targets can be chosen based on purposes and circumstances. Companies implement environmental CSR [<a href="#B135-sustainability-14-01222" class="html-bibr">135</a>] by compensating for damage already done or by implementing preventive activities to protect the current and future environment. Or they can directly contribute to society such as building schools and healthcare institutes, education and social awareness, and promoting equality in the workplace. The last option is to promote local and global economies through shareholders’ benefits such as employees’ income, customers’ budget, and stakeholders’ profit. To sum up, corporations invest their CSR budget in three areas: environment, society, and economy [<a href="#B136-sustainability-14-01222" class="html-bibr">136</a>].</div></section></section><section id='sec3-sustainability-14-01222' type=''><h2 data-nested='1'> 3.

Furthermore, they may face natural disasters as a consequence of rising sea levels, climate change, desertification, and biodiversity destruction, among others. Natural, economic, and social problems cannot easily be addressed. However, to create a better world, the SDGs are the well-thought out and comprehensive policy agenda. UN adopted the SDGs in September 2015 to tackle environmental, social, and economic challenges of the next 15 years [<a href="#B137-sustainability-14-01222" class="html-bibr">137</a>], taking current and future needs into consideration.

In 2019, SDG-13 and SDG-12 were globally considered most while the SDG-1 and SDG-14 were the least addressed among 17 goals. In 2021, visibility increased in 14 goals, especially SDG-8, which was predictable given the circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic. In the Asia-Pacific and the Americas corporate contributions were least visible, and most visible in Africa and Europe. Most likely it’s because of differences in SDGs communication culture. Airlines, banking, cars, food, insurance, tech, telecommunication, and pharmaceuticals were six of the most sustainable industries in this panel. Based on Sustainable Development Goals Report 2021, 75 countries kept their SDGs score above 70, and 17 of them even maintained a score above 80, which is remarkable considering the world’s average index drop in 2019 (Score 100 indicates the country contributes to all 17 goals)[<a href="#B140-sustainability-14-01222" class="html-bibr">140</a>].

What if all companies implemented CSR plans through a comprehensive and measured framework designed by the most professional experts around the world? SDGs are the best fit for this argument. As a result, not only are all businesses contributing to the same purposes, but they are also using the plan that was introduced internationally by the world’s top experts (including top UN officials and heads of states) and is adopted and consistently developed by all 193 UN members to empower their societies and subsequently the entire world. Additionally, corporations spend less on research to find the best CSR plans since massive research has already been done in developing the SDGs and corporations access the results easily. Businesses decide how to contribute to the 17 goals based on their resources. We believe corporate CSR budgets could be better spent if they went to the SDGs.

In addition to causing poverty, poor health, and violence for locals, wars threaten the security of neighboring countries. War leads to unwanted immigration, destroys businesses, kills highly skilled human resources, reduces the labor force, and makes the Earth more unsafe. Future generations will be threatened by a lack of education. People in low-income countries can’t develop their societies because of poor health, poverty, and hunger. Companies invest in SDGs to protect themselves from future risks. SDGs, if implemented based on corporations’ actual priorities, result in business sustainability. It helps societies become more functional, avoid any economic instability, and environmental crisis. By empowering potential customers and employees, it also protects the companies’ natural resources and expands their customer and labor market. Therefore, it enables sustainable resource management.

To make the world a safer place, it is vital to reduce violence, such as wars, human trafficking, abuse, and injustice, and to promote basic freedom, legal identity, and non-discrimination laws [<a href="#B258-sustainability-14-01222" class="html-bibr">258</a>,<a href="#B259-sustainability-14-01222" class="html-bibr">259</a>,<a href="#B260-sustainability-14-01222" class="html-bibr">260</a>,<a href="#B261-sustainability-14-01222" class="html-bibr">261</a>].</div></section><section id='sec5dot3-sustainability-14-01222' type=''><h4 class='html-italic' data-nested='2'> 5.3. Economy</h4><div class='html-p'>Companies depend on the economy they operate in. Business becomes more predictable and functional as their economy gets stable. We suggest corporations dedicate part of their CSR budget to at least one of the following goals.</div><div class='html-p'><b>SDG-8 (Decent work and economic growth):</b> Economic growth could easily affect business strategies implementation. whoever promotes SDG-8 is working in favor of corporations. The United Nations has specifically designed this goal for businesses and employees. SDG-8 concentrates on fair and conventional trade, stable and even-handed prices, decent work conditions [<a href="#B262-sustainability-14-01222" class="html-bibr">262</a>], domestic production support, small businesses and local enterprises, creativity and innovation, global economic growth, controlled consumption, resource management, equal and full employment, slavery and forced labor eradication, and adequate access to financial services [<a href="#B8-sustainability-14-01222" class="html-bibr">8</a>,<a href="#B262-sustainability-14-01222" class="html-bibr">262</a>,<a href="#B263-sustainability-14-01222" class="html-bibr">263</a>]. To succeed in the long-term, corporations make socially responsible short-term decisions. The more they grow their economy, the more their share of it will value.</div><div class='html-p'><b>SDG-9 (</b><b>Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure</b><b>) and SDG-17 (</b><b>Partnerships to achieve the Goal</b><b>):</b> SDGs suggest industries should be equipped with an innovative, reliable, and strong economy, management, and sustainable infrastructures, but also should update their resource consumption and extraction procedures. Knowledge management and raising awareness significantly impacts the corporations’ functionality and the practice of all three SDGs dimensions, especially corporate green innovation [<a href="#B264-sustainability-14-01222" class="html-bibr">264</a>]. In addition, companies should seek more cooperation and partnership to meet the increasing demand for sustainability [<a href="#B265-sustainability-14-01222" class="html-bibr">265</a>]. Governments play an important role especially when it comes to policies and regulations. Innovation and infrastructure combined with sustainable industrialization can result in a dynamic and competitive economy that generates employment and revenue CSR budgets could be allocated to new sectors such as knowledge-based firms, emerging industries, convergent technologies, and biotechnology and nanotechnology firms.</div><div class='html-p'>SDG-9 helps developing and underdeveloped countries grow, become sustainable, update their industries, increase domestic production, access more communication facilities, increase industry diversity and added value, enable flexible development, facilitate change management, and find better ways to pay their debts and loans [<a href="#B8-sustainability-14-01222" class="html-bibr">8</a>]. It also suggests business partnerships and collaborations between developed and developing countries to create win-win strategies. Resources and labor costs in developing and underdeveloped countries are lower than in developed countries. Several parts of corporations’ research and development activities, production, and service can be outsourced to deprived areas to lower production costs and create opportunities for deprived societies and increase economic and employment opportunities for the locals. Global businesses and poor countries can cooperate and have mutual interests in many ways. Such strategies benefit both CSR and SDGs. SDG-17 completes all previous 17 goals and closes the circle of Sustainable Development agenda [<a href="#B266-sustainability-14-01222" class="html-bibr">266</a>,<a href="#B267-sustainability-14-01222" class="html-bibr">267</a>,<a href="#B268-sustainability-14-01222" class="html-bibr">268</a>].</div><div class='html-p'>Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, the world was not in a good place. United Nations’ 17 goals are far from being achieved and many will not be accomplished by 2030. Besides money, corporations have facilities, technologies, and knowledge to contribute to the SDGs. Businesses rely on natural resources accessibility, workforce functionality, economy reliability, and customer purchase. They cannot operate in corrupt societies, economies, and environments. The more sustainable our planet becomes, the more sustainable businesses become. To achieve sustainable societies, public health, life-long education, economic stability, crisis management, poverty reduction, and environmental protection, corporations can pool their skills, knowledge, and resources. In this study we highlighted how corporations can promote sustainability and peruse their CSR financial and non-financial purposes through the SDGs.</div></section></section><section id='sec6-sustainability-14-01222' type='conclusions'><h2 data-nested='1'> 6. Conclusions</h2><div class='html-p'>Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is driven by stakeholders, shareholders, board of directors, managers, employees, customers, competitors, governments, industries, NGOs, and the media. CSR benefits corporations in many ways, such as financial performance, identification and image, reputation, brand, public trust, customer satisfaction, customer loyalty, and purchase intention. Meanwhile, Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) result in business sustainability, stable economies, functional societies, crisis prevention, resource management, labor market expansion, and universal market growth. CSR and SDGs are complementary since they both promote environmental protection and socioeconomic development. SDGs help corporations achieve CSR goals since globally, they are more comprehensive. SDGs are holistic and interconnected, meaning that promoting one goal can support others. SDGs results last longer; therefore, they save companies time and money. Corporations reduce CSR research costs and focus on the most rewarding contributions when they use the SDGs. The SDGs affect CSR drivers in many ways and improve their quality of life, keeping them satisfied with corporations’ performance. The SDGs provide corporations with a framework for CSR that reflects their present and projected needs. </div><div class='html-p'>This study presents a comprehensive CSR model and a new CSR drivers model. Then, it highlights the advantages of CSR and SDGs. Finally, it recommends that enterprises should make use of the SDGs as a framework to enhance their CSR practices. The proposed framework benefits from both CSR and SDGs, addresses current and future needs, and offers a roadmap with more measurable outcomes. </div><div class='html-p'>This study’s limitations are linked to the broadness of the matter which is worldwide. Almost all aspects of the SDGs and CSR have many different inputs, outputs, and parameters at the industrial, national, and international levels. Therefore, future studies should be more detailed and localized, or at least should focus on specific countries, industries, or companies. Analytical and empirical studies can result in managerial and more practical and detailed strategies. The study offers a new perspective by suggesting that SDGs be used as a framework for CSR implementations and discusses how beneficial this framework is. As it is only the beginning of further studies, and more research is needed to determine which goals and targets are advantageous to specific corporations based on their country of origin, industry, business characteristics, etc. Resources and purposes of corporations ultimately determine how CSR plans can be integrated with the SDGs. Another approach would be to lay out a comprehensive list of SDGs’ targets, categorized by all 17 goals, that businesses can contribute to and profit from the most. Further studies should prioritize the SDGs and their targets according to the most urgent local and global issues and the most rewarding CSR strategies. The managerial actions at this point would be to identify potential targets of the SDGs that could become the objective of the corporations’ CSR activities. The combination of managerial implications with empirical and analytical research is expected to result in a more advanced and practical framework in the future.</div></section> </div> <div class="html-back"> <section class='html-notes'><h2 >Author Contributions</h2><div class='html-p'>Conceptualization, N.F.S. and M.A.Z.; Funding acquisition, N.M.-K.; Supervision, N.M.-K., S.A. and M.A.Z.; Writing—original draft, N.F.S.; Writing—review & editing, N.M.-K., S.A. and M.A.Z.

People are experiencing a drop in their income; there is less food available in the market, and prices have risen. Disruptions occurred in agriculture and food production. Due to inadequate nutrition, women of reproductive age are suffering from anemia, which is worrying experts about the health of future babies and their mothers. Also, unhealthy food and a lack of physical activity contribute to childhood and adult obesity.</td></tr><tr ><td align='center' valign='middle' style='border-bottom:solid thin' class='html-align-center' ><b>SDG-3</b><br>Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages</td><td align='left' valign='middle' style='border-bottom:solid thin' class='html-align-left' >COVID-19 reversed years of world-wide health progress. There has been a decline in human life expectancy. Infected people are at risk of death, long-term disabilities, lung and heart damage, and antibacterial resistance as a result of the virus. Coronavirus has also disrupted ongoing health improvements such as newborn and child death prevention, non-communicable disease treatments, communicable disease detection, mental health, and equal health care. Healthcare workers are one of the most vulnerable groups physically, psychologically, and socially. A massive issue at this moment as well is the lack of COVID data and treatments.</td></tr><tr ><td align='center' valign='middle' style='border-bottom:solid thin' class='html-align-center' ><b>SDG-4</b><br>Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all</td><td align='left' valign='middle' style='border-bottom:solid thin' class='html-align-left' >Up until 2019, 53 percent of children could complete secondary school. Because of the partial or complete school closures during the pandemic, many children are at risk for child labor or child marriage. That is why it is crucial to get them back on track immediately. Many schools lack basic infrastructures such as drinking water, single-sex toilets, handwashing facilities, internet, computers, and even electricity. In addition, so many students do not have basic equipment or access to attend online schools during the school closures. Furthermore, in the ongoing pandemic, internet and communication technologies are more essential than ever and could use immediate infrastructure and education preparation.</td></tr><tr ><td align='center' valign='middle' style='border-bottom:solid thin' class='html-align-center' ><b>SDG-5</b><br>Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls</td><td align='left' valign='middle' style='border-bottom:solid thin' class='html-align-left' >Violence against women and girls during the COVID-19 has been intensified. The financial dependency, limited formal and social support, and fear of stigma force women to stay in abusive relationships or families. During the pandemic more women than men lost their jobs, more women are working under unpaid domestic works, and more women left their jobs to provide childcare. And it makes them even more vulnerable. women are mostly the caregiver in their families during the crisis. The frontline healthcare workforce consists of more women but they cannot participate equally in healthcare decision-making and management. And the discriminatory laws are even standing in front of their empowerment.</td></tr><tr ><td align='center' valign='middle' style='border-bottom:solid thin' class='html-align-center' ><b>SDG-6</b><br>Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all</td><td align='left' valign='middle' style='border-bottom:solid thin' class='html-align-left' >Billions of people live without proper access to drinking water, hygiene, and sanitation. COVID-19 has only underscored the situation which has already been highly urgent. Water stress is getting worse and freshwater ecosystems are dramatically changing. Water resource management, water use control, and water pollution systems are extremely vital at this point.</td></tr><tr ><td align='center' valign='middle' style='border-bottom:solid thin' class='html-align-center' ><b>SDG-7</b><br>Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all</td><td align='left' valign='middle' style='border-bottom:solid thin' class='html-align-left' >Pandemic is reversing progress. Millions of people lost access to electricity. Over 30 percent of the world’s population does not have access to safe and efficient cooking energy systems. Relying on harmful and polluting fuels is making the poor more vulnerable to COVID. Heating, transport, and electricity are the main energy consumers which need systematic investments to become more efficient and renewable energy-based. The issue is that most of the energy efficiency and renewable energy investments are spent on more developed countries than the poor ones that need more help. Some reconsideration is needed about the commitments.</td></tr><tr ><td align='center' valign='middle' style='border-bottom:solid thin' class='html-align-center' ><b>SDG-8</b><br>Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all</td><td align='left' valign='middle' style='border-bottom:solid thin' class='html-align-left' >COVID-19 has tremendously disrupted the world’s economy. The pandemic left the world’s informal employees, especially young workers and women, on their own with no support or protection against financial and health issues. Massive job losses, enlarged market gender gap, informal workers’ lack of social safety, and decreased work and education opportunities for youth are examples of the pandemic impact on the economy. Furthermore, countries with tourism-based economies faced the biggest employment and financial crisis during the pandemic since their economy directly depends on tourists. The Coronavirus has reversed 30years of progress in the tourism industry in less than two years.</td></tr><tr ><td align='center' valign='middle' style='border-bottom:solid thin' class='html-align-center' ><b>SDG-9</b><br>Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation</td><td align='left' valign='middle' style='border-bottom:solid thin' class='html-align-left' >Countries need proper structure, enough information and data, communication systems, and relevant technologies to be able to overcome shocks, and in our case the COVID-19 pandemic. An increase in research and development investment is essential to face the crisis, whether it is to invent vaccines or to manage the financial and social side effects of the pandemic. Manufacturing, production, agriculture, and employment are affected by the limits implied due to the virus. Aviation faced a 60 percent collapse in air travel demand. Low-tech products experienced negative growth, while high-tech and medium-tech products took over the market especially the digital equipment due to the study or work from home transitions. Still, small industries struggle with accessing credits. And small rural areas struggle with connecting to the outside which impacts their agriculture, business, and employment.</td></tr><tr ><td align='center' valign='middle' style='border-bottom:solid thin' class='html-align-center' ><b>SDG-10</b><br>Reduce inequality within and among countries</td><td align='left' valign='middle' style='border-bottom:solid thin' class='html-align-left' >Income equality had been progressing before the Coronavirus outbreak. The pandemic caused the vulnerable to face more discrimination, especially in low-income countries. Unsafe living situations have forced more people to leave their countries and become refugees. Many of them go through dangerous journeys and never come out of it alive. Fiscal politics regarding equality, such as taxes, and cash and non-cash transfers, is now needed more than before with the consequences of the ongoing pandemic and it needs to be continued after. The population proportion of people living with half the average income of a country is an alarming indicator of inequality, which is growing and has to be monitored. The remittance costs are already lowering but the target for 2030 is 3 percent on average with a maximum of 5% in the world.</td></tr><tr ><td align='center' valign='middle' style='border-bottom:solid thin' class='html-align-center' ><b>SDG-11</b><br>Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable</td><td align='left' valign='middle' style='border-bottom:solid thin' class='html-align-left' >COVID-19 has highlighted the importance of public health systems, affordable housing, waste service and sanitation, water infrastructure, and public transport. Meanwhile, migrants, homeless, slum duelers, and informal inhabitants have been most affected since they are more vulnerable. Safe and efficient public transport is essential to control the pandemic especially in big cities but partial and total closures currently are adding to the issue. Promoting non-motorized transportation such as walking and cycling could enhance the damage control of the COVID and increase health. More open public places and recreational areas could be helpful too. There is a reconsideration needed in urban configurations to respond to the current and prepare for the future risks and damages.</td></tr><tr ><td align='center' valign='middle' style='border-bottom:solid thin' class='html-align-center' ><b>SDG-12</b><br>Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns</td><td align='left' valign='middle' style='border-bottom:solid thin' class='html-align-left' >The global population is growing and natural resources are being unsustainably used which together can cause climate change, environmental degradation, biodiversity loss, increased pollution, carbon emission, health risks, and unsustainable lifestyle. A huge amount of food gets lost in the supply chain. A great number of drinking plastic bottles and plastic bags are being thrown away. Electronic production and waste are becoming more. The toxic chemicals reach into the soil and water and put human and all livings at health risk. The increasing production and defective recycling systems cause the loss of valuable materials such as gold. The world is on an unsustainable and uneven track because of industrialization, developed countries’ outsourcing of materials, and the increase of domestic resource consumption. Despite the pandemic, the world is having great progress in using renewable energy instead of the traditional ones.</td></tr><tr ><td align='center' valign='middle' style='border-bottom:solid thin' class='html-align-center' ><b>SDG-13</b><br>Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts</td><td align='left' valign='middle' style='border-bottom:solid thin' class='html-align-left' >2020 was in the top three warmest years of all time. The greenhouse gas concentration is constantly proliferating. The world is not on track to meet the Paris Agreement targets. Although COVID-19 reduced human activities and consequently lowered emissions, the planet is still experiencing an increase in global carbon-dioxide emissions. Financial climate supports are working and countries are trying to adapt and promote climate action. But the pandemic was a wake-up call. The climate crisis damage is anticipated to be much bigger than the COVID-19 pandemic and will include all planet.</td></tr><tr ><td align='center' valign='middle' style='border-bottom:solid thin' class='html-align-center' ><b>SDG-14</b><br>Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development</td><td align='left' valign='middle' style='border-bottom:solid thin' class='html-align-left' >Almost half of the world’s population’s livelihood depends on the ocean. The majority of merchandise trade in the world happens through the sea. Ocean warming, lack of oxygen, acidification, water pollution, biodiversity loss, growing dead zones, and eutrophication are current marine issues that are out to be taken care of. Furthermore, investments, supports, and resources are not evenly contributed in the world even though it is a worldwide issue. Marine research is the key element to protect ocean crisis. Consequently, more budget needs to be dedicated to the ocean research facility, technology, and equipment.</td></tr><tr ><td align='center' valign='middle' style='border-bottom:solid thin' class='html-align-center' ><b>SDG-15</b><br>Promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, land degradation and biodiversity loss</td><td align='left' valign='middle' style='border-bottom:solid thin' class='html-align-left' >Land degradation, biodiversity loss, and species extinction, forest destruction, terrestrial ecosystem issue, and increased zoonotic disease spread are alarming. Forests are sources of food and energy also regulate biodiversity, the water cycle, and climate change. Sustainable management of the forests are a priority for countries. The process of safeguarding key biodiversity areas has already progressed but still needs to be improved. invasive alien species are developing native biodiversity extinction and disrupt local ecosystems and need to be controlled.</td></tr><tr ><td align='center' valign='middle' style='border-bottom:solid thin' class='html-align-center' ><b>SDG-16</b><br>Promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels</td><td align='left' valign='middle' style='border-bottom:solid thin' class='html-align-left' >COVID-19 has disrupted the function of the most vulnerable countries and left them with a decreased capability to support their people. As a result, their citizens experience more inequality and discrimination, more conflicts, lack of security, and in some cases intensified violence and armed wars. Schools closures, economic distress, and unemployment for adults are three main reasons for increased child labor, exploitation, and trafficking. COVID-19 created new opportunities for corruption and bribery especially in countries with lower income. People have to get around the low to get access to their basic needs such as healthcare, education, and justice. The combination of armed conflicts and the pandemic is rising the number of civilian death and injuries. The world is unsafe for a great portion of its population while security is fundamental to human being life.</td></tr><tr ><td align='center' valign='middle' style='border-bottom:solid thin' class='html-align-center' ><b>SDG-17</b><br>Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the Global Partnership for Sustainable Development</td><td align='left' valign='middle' style='border-bottom:solid thin' class='html-align-left' >Although growth has occurred in global contributions, there is still room to grow and meet the target.
