Editorial volume 9 number 17: crises fundamentally caused by the pandemic and war

Abstract

Currently, the world is experiencing two crises mainly caused by the pandemic and war. On the one hand, the pandemic impacted economies, the virus continues to spread and evolve into new variants, producing new disruptions and attenuating the divergence between rich and poor countries. On the other, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, which has impacted the Ukrainian economy, has been accompanied by seismic waves in the region and has caused the displacement of millions of innocent people. In this sense, governments face great challenges to safeguard world peace and respond to the 2030 agenda.
