COVID-19 has been said to put the UN’s list of goals out of reach, and although the goals
are ambitious, the UN has since sat down down to revise the list and expectations.

There are some things that are making it more challenging for
the UN to achieve their goals including:
● Spike in food and energy prices
● Rising unemployment rates
● Malnourishment rates are rising
● States are worried about the financial and economic
crises that is greatly affected by trying to achieve their
sustainability goal.
