Abstract

The study aims to examine the impact of COVID-19 on global society and how the international system is dealing with it. What was the role of major powers? How countries reacted? Further, the article also talks about the impact of COVID-19 on Sustainable Development Goals (S.D.G.). The study follows a systematic literature review methodology to gain insights into the impact of COVID-19 and how the international system has addressed it in relation to SDGs. The research paper found that COVID-19 had devastated the aspirations of the S.D.G. The research paper suggested that all international relations actors must strengthen multilateralism and establish transparent diplomacy. It is time for all the countries to come together and take joint actions to have a more positive impact. Simultaneously, there should be proper cooperation and coordination among nations, and governments should refrain from engaging in political bickering. The methodology was descriptive and analytical.
