Covid-19, Great Reset, SDGs
COVID-19 has awakened us with a very hard blow, we have to live life differently. In the world, the call for a great reset is now increasingly echoing.
Students of Sam Khok school wearing face masks and face shields are seen inside old ballot boxes repurposed into partitions as they attend a class after the Thai government eased isolation measures and introduced social distancing to prevent the spread of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19), as schools nationwide reopen, at Pathum Thani province, Thailand, (1/7/2020).
In the history of human civilization, 2020 will forever be remembered as a period of devastating crisis whose precedent can only be equated with the Great Depression of the 1930s and the World War. Even, in the middle of 2020, we have not yet been able to see how deep the crisis will go. Anxiously, we are witnessing the rapid spread of COVID-19 and how the health crisis has destroyed many years of development efforts.
As in the historical dynamics of the world crisis, the crisis will make a big change. The crisis forces us to reflect on what went wrong earlier, then what needs to be done and changed to ensure that the crisis does not recur. More than that, during this pandemic, we are also anxiously watching the Earth become increasingly fragile because it supports nearly 8 billion people with all its dynamics, and at the "culmination point".
