Current High-Powered Challenges and High-Reaching Reforms

Abstract

Knowledge has the miraculous power to advance the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) at an international level, with the notable help provided by courageous reforms due to promoting a new economic model based on quality, green energy, digitalization, and shock resistance. Environmental sustainability relies on collaboration in achieving the SDGs and on communication in making the SDGs a way of living. The unforgettable challenges brought in today's society by the COVID-19 pandemic and the COVID-19 crisis posed even a greater pressure than before to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all, thus placing on pivotal positions the answers for the following questions: “What steps are due to be taken for ensuring affordable and clean energy?” “What role do sustainable cities and communities play in people's lives?” “What does climate action involve in terms of the partnerships for the global goals?” and “What does digitalization implicates in terms of supporting long term positive economic, social, and environmental links in the post-COVID-19 era?”
