The crisis caused by COVID-19 has affected research in a variety of ways. As far as research on sustainable development is concerned, the lockdown has significantly disrupted the usual communication channels and, among other things, has led to the cancellation of meetings and long-planned events. It has also led to delay in the delivery of research projects. There is a gap in the literature in regards to how a global crisis influences sustainability research. Therefore, this ground-breaking paper undertakes an analysis of the extent to which COVID-19 as a whole, and the lockdown in particular, has influenced sustainability research, and it outlines the solutions pursued by researchers around the world to overcome the many challenges they have experienced. This paper also outlines some measures that may be implemented in the future to take more advantage of existing technologies that support research on sustainable development.

由 COVID-19 引起的危机以多种方式影响了研究。就可持续发展研究而言，封锁严重扰乱了通常的沟通渠道，除其他外，还导致会议和计划已久的活动取消。这也导致研究项目的交付延迟。关于全球危机如何影响可持续性研究，文献中存在差距。因此，这篇开创性的论文分析了 COVID-19 作为一个整体，尤其是封锁对可持续性研究的影响程度，并概述了世界各地的研究人员为克服他们所面临的诸多挑战而寻求的解决方案经历过。
