“…Another study by Tonne ( 2021 ) demonstrates that COVID-19 highlights the fragilities in society and human development and envisions the situation to make better decisions towards sustainability. The impacts of COVID-19 on the socio-economic, energy-environment, transport sector, and SDGs are presented by Nundy et al ( 2021 ). The study suggests that in the course of recovering from the pandemic-influenced impacts, the progress towards SDGs might even become worse and recommends collaborative efforts to progress towards sustainability.…”

In the pursuit of constructing a sustainable world for all through the instrumental seventeen Sustainable Development Goals, the COVID-19 pandemic emerged and affected the efforts concentrated on these goals. Therefore, there is a pressing need to analyze the extent of the impact that unfolded from the pandemic on each Sustainable Development Goal and further to direct the post-pandemic situation to accelerate the progress in every goal. Besides, there exists a knowledge gap in understanding the Sustainable Development Goals and its interaction with each goal through synergic and trade-off effects. To address the aforementioned imperative problems, this study is formulated to perform an impact assessment as well as to provide direction in the post-pandemic environment to effectively progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals by using a hybrid qualitative and quantitative framework. A detailed investigation is carried out to examine the pandemic impacts in every goal, and a quantified impact analysis is performed in terms of the targets of the Sustainable Development Goals with the aid of ranking methodology. The results indicate that SDG 1 and SDG 8 are the most impacted goal. To provide deeper perspectives into the Sustainable Development Goals, a critical analysis of the targets and indicators is performed to characterize the goals from their elemental point of view, such as nature of goals, depending factors, locus of the goal, and Sustainable Development Goal interactions. Further, a novel parameter, the degree of randomness, is proposed whose application in environmental research is immense. The impact on each goal and impact interaction between all the SDGs are also mapped, through which the dynamics of Sustainable Development Goal interactions is elaborated. In context with the post-pandemic scenario, the strategies to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals with environmental focus are presented with prioritization factor that supports quick recovery. The introduced prioritization factor is formulated by employing a multi-criteria analysis methodology. In addition, the fundamental elements of SDGs are built upon one another to frame an optimized and effective approach to achieving the SDGs in the post-pandemic environment. Despite the strategies, a conceptual framework to align the business practices with the SDGs is propounded. This study deep down would provide a unique perspective to the research community and would impart deeper knowledge in connection with sustainability, while the solutions framed would steer the policy and decision-makers.

“…One of the current problems in the world is the COVID-19 pandemic. All over the world, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a serious impact on human life, the economy, the environment, energy, and transport [71]. Pandemics are one of the threats identified in the Threat Analysis for the Czech Republic.…”

Safety of Constructions from the Point of View of Population Protection in the Context of Industry 4.0 in the Czech Republic

et al. 2021

The current safety situation and the conclusions of a number of strategic and conceptual works require a broader integration of the population protection system into the areas of construction management. The approaches adopted by individual countries to this matter differ greatly. In the Czech Republic, the definition of constructions to which it is necessary to apply population protection requirements has not been dealt with sufficiently. The construction technical requirements from the point of view of population protection are also not sufficiently dealt with. This article presents a new draft procedure for designating the requirements for the relevant constructions of population protection in the Czech Republic. In addition, possible external hazards affecting the constructions or their strategic importance functions were assessed. In conclusion, the general, specific, and strategic requirements for constructions are set. The procedure is applied to the conditions of the Czech Republic, but it is also applicable in other countries. The area of public protection is closely related to Industry 4.0. Ensuring the protection of the population, as well as the safety of workers, employers, and production facilities, is one of the basic preconditions for the development of the industry.

“…On January 27, 2021, the global number of confirmed COVID-19 cases had surpassed 100 million ( https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/map.html ), representing more than 1/70th of the global population. COVID-19 pandemic created an adverse effect on human life, economy, environment, energy, and transportation ( Nundy et al, 2021 ; Yao et al, 2020), which made sustainable development goals are being derailed (SDGs) ( Naidoo and Fisher, 2020 ). Faced with the continuous transmission of COVID-19, the key to reducing virus spread and promoting SDGs back on track is establishing the drug and non-drug prevention and control strategies, which are suitably adapted to each country's reality ( Zhao et al, 2020 ; Li et al, 2020 ).…”
