Since its spread in late 2019, covid-19 has paralysed the whole world order. It emerged as a non-traditional security threat to the states and nations around the world causing the death of thousands of people and suffocating the global economy by freezing global trade and commerce.

A year and a half later the world is still struggling to get over the impacts of the pandemic as many countries were hit by second and third waves as they eased the restrictions to resume normal routine in towns and cities.

On the one hand, governments around the world carried out tests and derive vaccinations to protect their citizens, simultaneously the virus got out of control in some parts of the world.

The third wave of covid-19 in India and Pakistan has yet again caused havoc among the people. Especially in India where the covid cases grow at record numbers, simultaneously, the hospitals are running out of space and oxygen for the patients and hundreds of people die in hospital wards, on the streets, and in vehicles due to the unavailability of oxygen supply. 

the current situation has exposed the flaws in our health care systems and indicated the new forms of threats humanity could face in the form of climate change, refugee crisis, natural disasters, and pandemics etc. despite the enormous development.

with growing numbers of infections and deaths each day, the pandemic has dismantled the existing human lifestyle around the world. The world now has to readjust into the new normal where the coronavirus is a part of our everyday lives.

we must try to take precautionary measures as much as we can to avoid getting infected because apart from the immediate health issues the virus could impact human health for the long term as well which is yet to be found out. 

In a time when the world is facing serious challenges from natural events like climate change, natural disasters, etc. it is important for nations and the states to cope with the issues to save the earth and its inhabitants from the severe impacts.


Developing countries already battling with an enormous amount of challenges are lagging behind the developed nations in acquiring modern tools and techniques to develop sustainably according to the current needs of the hour. 

So combine efforts from every one rich and poor, developed and developing, men and women, black, brown and white, young and old can ultimately derive the world into the right direction which in my view is sustainable development.
