Russia-Ukraine conflict: will attainment of Sustainable Development Goals be a dream? - Owing to increasing risk in global supply chain

The Russia-Ukraine conflict poses a major threat to achieve the 2030 SDGs due to the resulting humanitarian crisis, economic shocks, and suffering of the vulnerable. This study aims to comprehensively examine the impact of conflict on the global supply chain and SDG's progress and propose strategies for stakeholders to support the SDGs amidst these challenging circumstances. The preliminary factual analysis is conducted using library research techniques and analysed to identify key themes and patterns related to the impact of the conflict on the SDGs agenda and supply chain. The results indicate that Russia and Ukraine conflict created supply chain turmoil, particularly in the region surrounding the conflict zone. The authors argued that the conflict has disrupted economic activity, trade, transportation, and infrastructure, which has affected decent work, economic growth, innovation, production, poverty, and individual well-being. As such, the authors identified significant pushback in the attainment of SDG in the region.
