2020年，我们即将迈入新的十年，在此期间，一个国家、一个人类将共同实现联合国可持续发展目标（SDG），其中提供安全、可持续和清洁的水和空气是多个目标的核心。然而，COVID-19 大流行在全球范围内的出现给不断变化的社会科学优先事项带来了新的挑战和范式。人们普遍预计，疫情的影响将是在较短的时间范围内，而实现可持续发展目标的计划时间和途径通常是长期的，因此可能基本上不受影响。然而，严格的封锁措施、孤立的经济和遏制大流行紧急情况的财政负担导致社会经济发展放缓，如果这种情况持续较长时间，将给制定实现可持续发展目标的计划和路径打上问号，即使是在十年范围内。因此，在这个新时代，重要的是要了解清洁水和空气的供应的真正优先事项，由于各种自然和人为影响的触发因素，这些问题在世界范围内和印度已经受到压力。这场持续的疫情为评估人类发展以及新冠疫情前后自然和人类社会对水、空气和人类生活的影响提供了前所未有的机会，这有助于重新思考和调整社会发展优先事项。对于科学家来说，这是一个难得的机会，可以通过实时实例向政策制定者留下深刻印象，这些实例展示了气候变化、水和空气污染的潜在缓解策略的有效性，以及对环境事业和随之而来的利益进行持久投资的重要性，以确保我们子孙后代的健康和发展。 环境污染和气候变化给人类生存带来了很高的风险。尽管受到 COVID-19 造成的经济限制，但仍需增强韧性以实现可持续发展目标。在统一的世界中，为未来确定清洁水和空气的供应的真正优先事项。
In 2020, we are in the doorstep of a new decade, during which the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) are to be achieved, collectively as one nation and one human-hood, where availability of safe, sustainable and clean water and air forms the core of multiple goals. However, the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic across the globe has resulted a newer challenge and paradigm for an evolving socio-scientific priorities. It is generally expected that the impacts of the pandemic would be in shorter time-scale, while the planned time and pathway for attaining the SDG are typically mandated in longer-term, hence may remain mostly unaffected. However, the stringent lockdown measures, isolated economies and financial burden to contain the pandemic emergency have resulted to slowdown of socio-economic development, which if continues for a longer period, would put a question mark on developing plans and pathways to achieve the SDGs, even in decadal-scale. Hence, in these newer times, it is important to understand the real priorities of availability of clean water and air, which are already stressed worldwide and in India, because of various natural and human-influenced triggers. This ongoing pandemic has provided an unprecedented opportunity to evaluate the impact of human development and consequent feedback of nature and human society in pre- and post-COVID scenarios on water–air–human life, which can help to re-think and re-orient the societal development priorities. It is a rare opportunity for scientists to impress the policy-makers with real-time examples on the efficacies of potential mitigation strategies for climate change, water and air pollution, and the importance of enduring investment on environmental causes and consequent benefits that can secure health and development for our future generations. Environmental pollution and climate change pose a high risk for human survival. Develop resilience to attain SDGs in spite of economic constraints caused by COVID-19. Set real priorities of availability of clean water and air for future, in a unified world.
