Abstract
Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and nationally determined contributions (NDC), normally operated in silos at national level in developing countries despite their greater interrelation, require an aligned implementation. The chapter probes into the opportunities visible in the actions of different actors to tackle COVID-19 that can be continued or replicated for combating the menace of climate crisis and achieving sustainable development in post-COVID times. This chapter discusses the challenges that the contemporary issue of sustainability has faced due to the occurrence of this pandemic. The chapter concludes that at a time when no one wishes to be tested positive for COVID-19, there is a need to be positive strategically so that the potential opportunities of achieving goals and commitments under SDG and NDC could be sensed and seized by re-configuring resources and capabilities according to the actual needs for a sustainable future.
