Sustainable Development Goals in 2020

This article provides a brief overview of the term sustainable development and its brief characteristics. The author considers the details of the ongoing changes in the current macroeconomic context of the global pandemic. The author concludes that only a few indicators have improved their dynamics in 2020-2021. In the future, inertial development is predicted for most of the key areas of sustainable development. Therefore, the article shows that achieving the SDGs on a global scale by 2030 is nothing more than an indicative and currently unattainable goal.
