Analysis of the Impact of COVID-19 on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): Bibliometrics-based Visualization and Review

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacts Sustainable Development Goals and presents obstacles to their achievement. To meet this challenge, a comprehensive analysis of the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak on sustainability is required. Using the methodology of A Bibliometric Analysis and Literature Review, the literature in the Web of Science database on the influence of COVID-19 on the SDGs was thoroughly examined in this paper. The findings demonstrate that, despite the research's broad scope that spans multiple fields, its depth is insufficient. Although the epidemic poses a more significant threat to sustainable development in developing nations than in developed countries, most research is conducted in the United Kingdom, the United States, and China. To serve as a helpful decision-making guide and source of scientific and technological assistance for the prediction and early warning of sustainable development, optimal regulation, and future dynamic simulation, the essay concludes with recommendations.
