- This 2020 edition assesses the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the structural obstacles in its realization. It reveals the features of the COVID-19 emergency and its relations with other crises, including increased job loss, hunger and homelessness, increasing racial and gender violence and escalating climate disasters.. .The first part of the report, based on national civil society reports, describes how COVID-19 and resulting lockdown has affected countries in different ways, depending on their social and economic circumstances. The second part describes how governments and international organizations have responded to the economic and health crises resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. The third part argues that policy responses to COVID-19 must not repeat the mistakes of the past, offering an alternative agenda for transformational recovery.
