The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted social, economic, and environmental systems worldwide, slowing down and reversing the progress made in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). SDGs belong to the 2030 Agenda to transform our world by tackling humankind's challenges to ensure well-being, economic prosperity, and environmental protection. We explore the potential impacts of the pandemic on SDGs for Nepal. We followed a knowledge co-creation process with experts from various professional backgrounds, involving five steps: online survey, online workshop, assessment of expert's opinions, review and validation, and revision and synthesis. The pandemic has negatively impacted most SDGs in the short term. Particularly, the targets of SDG 1, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 13 have and will continue to have weakly to moderately restricting impacts. However, a few targets of SDG 2, 3, 6, and 11 could also have weakly promoting impacts. The negative impacts have resulted from impeding factors linked to the pandemic. Many of the negative impacts may subside in the medium and long terms. The key five impeding factors are lockdowns, underemployment and unemployment, closure of institutions and facilities, diluted focus and funds for non-COVID-19-related issues, and anticipated reduction in support from development partners. The pandemic has also opened a window of opportunity for sustainable transformation, which is short-lived and narrow. These opportunities are lessons learned for planning and action, socio-economic recovery plan, use of information and communication technologies and the digital economy, reverse migration and “brain gain,” and local governments' exercising authorities.

COVID-19 大流行不仅带来挑战,还为可持续转型带来机遇

COVID-19 大流行影响了全球的社会、经济和环境系统,减缓并逆转了在实现可持续发展目标 (SDG) 方面取得的进展。可持续发展目标属于 2030 年议程,旨在通过应对人类面临的挑战来改变我们的世界,以确保福祉、经济繁荣和环境保护。我们探讨了大流行对尼泊尔可持续发展目标的潜在影响。我们遵循与不同专业背景的专家进行知识共创的过程,包括五个步骤:在线调查、在线研讨会、专家意见评估、审查和验证、修订和综合。大流行在短期内对大多数可持续发展目标产生了负面影响。特别是可持续发展目标 1、4、5、8、9、10、11、和 13 个已经并将继续具有弱到中等限制的影响。然而,可持续发展目标 2、3、6 和 11 的一些具体目标也可能具有较弱的促进作用。负面影响是与大流行相关的阻碍因素造成的。许多负面影响可能会在中长期消退。五个关键的阻碍因素是封锁、就业不足和失业、机构和设施关闭、非 COVID-19 相关问题的重点和资金被稀释,以及发展伙伴的支持预期减少。大流行也为可持续转型打开了一扇机会之窗,这是短暂而狭窄的。这些机会是规划和行动、社会经济复苏计划、信息和通信技术的使用以及数字经济、
