The “Sustainable Development Goals” (SDGs) are the goals to eradicate poverty and enhance the wellness of all people by raising their living standard. The UN Member States approved the 17 Goals in 2015, as a component of the “2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development”, which put forward some techniques to achieve the target (United Nations, 2018). In many areas, progress has been made, but the objectives are not being met at the pace or size that were expected to be (United Nations, 2018). The pandemic has left the horizon for development goals unclear.
Sustainable Development Goals include gender equality, health, economic growth, healthy environment, no poverty and hunger, end child marriage, etc. and efforts are making to accomplish these goals in the near future (United Nations, 2018) but COVID-19 pandemic, conflicts and climate change push these goals backward.
A report shows the data that climate change and conflict were lead majority of the people towards poverty and hunger which forced the people to take the decision of displacement to a safer and better place. Also, statistical data shows that early child marriage rate decreases all over the world which put forward the society towards the healthy and prosperity environment.

At last, we conclude that no doubt, due to the efforts of Sustainable development goals more and more people have access to the better and healthy life but still lag behind. So, more efforts have required to reach the target point.
