Issues for discussion: • How does the COVID-19 pandemic affect the progress towards the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)? • How are country rankings describing the progress towards the SDGs related to their global competitiveness? • Are the existing indicators capable of providing an objective view of the progress towards meeting the SDGs? • Is it possible to achieve the SDGs without strengthening trust between the government, business and civil society? • What do the Voluntary National Review on SDG implementation progress in Russia tell us, and what lessons can be learned from these?
