The UN Secretary General, Antonio Guterres, has told Sky News that the coronavirus pandemic has shown how “vulnerable we are” and that in some aspects, “we are moving 25 years back”.

Antonio Guterres said that the goals set five years ago to help tackle global problems such as poverty, inequality and climate change have been "dramatically derailed" by the COVID-19 crisis – as a new film highlighting the biggest issues facing the world today is released.
 
“In some aspects we are moving 25 years back, and now we need to enhance our efforts and we need to take profit of the huge mobilisation of resources that is being done for the recovery to make sure that those resources are applied in line with those sustainable development goals. We cannot go back to where we were”, he said.
 
The sustainable development goals were launched in September 2015, with 193 world leaders committing to 17 objectives and targets to end extreme poverty and hunger, fight inequality and injustice, and tackle climate change, by 2030.
