2020-2030: a decade of action starting with a pandemic
Five years after introducing the SDGs, 2020 marks a real turning point in their implementation. There are only 10 years left to make the 2030 Agenda come true. Most importantly, 2020 is also the year of the coronavirus crisis, which is a burning reminder of our socio-economic systems’ vulnerability. Setting up more resilient models appears to be more urgent than ever.

To what extent does the sanitary crisis represent a turning point allowing us to rethink our societies in a more sustainable way? Is the pandemic a threat to sustainable development? How can the SDGs provide us with a new framework to build tomorrow’s society? These are the questions the Barometer attempts to answer.
