The world has witnessed unprecedented pandemic-led impacts that have challenged the health systems as well as the economic and social sectors. The COVID -19 pandemic has demonstrated the interlinked nature of development and, at the same time, reiterated the need for an integrated response to developmental challenges. There have been challenges to the progress on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) worldwide, and India is no exception. Today, a framework like the SDGs assumes much more importance. Focus on interconnectedness, leaving no one behind, and universality, as encapsulated in the SDG framework, is needed much more than ever before.

These wide-ranging strides towards achieving the SDGs have been championed by private and corporate commitments through corporate social responsibility (CSR) and to environmental, social and governance (ESG) practices. The private sector and corporations not only have a clear vested interest in achieving these goals and the wherewithal to do so but they are also increasingly becoming intersections of global governance, policy, and development. These private entities are, essentially, a new class of diplomat.
