COVID-19 pandemic is the biggest challenge facing humanity after the 1918 Flu pandemic. The pandemic also poses a massive challenge to the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Meeting this challenge requires a comprehensive investigation of the impact of the pandemic on sustainability. In this work, publications related to the impact of COVID-19 on sustainability in the Web of Science database were explored systematically by using bibliometrics techniques and meta-analysis approach. The results show the research scope is extensive, covering many subjects, whereas the research depth is not enough. Research in developed countries is dominant, although the pandemic poses more significant challenges to the sustainable development of developing countries than of developed countries. Developed countries are committed to studying education sustainability, while developing countries have shown greater attention to economic sustainability during the epidemic. The cluster analysis also shows that the COVID-19 pandemic has brought negative effects on 17 SDGs goals, whereas the pandemic may also bring opportunities to another 14 SDGs goals. At the end of the article, we put forward relevant suggestions for achieving sustainable development goals in the post-epidemic era.
新冠疫情是继 1918 年流感大流行之后，人类面临的最大挑战。这场大流行也对实现可持续发展目标（SDGs）构成了巨大挑战。应对这一挑战需要全面调查疫情对可持续性的影响。在这项工作中，我们使用文献计量学技术和荟萃分析方法，系统地探索了 Web of Science 数据库中与新冠疫情对可持续性影响相关的出版物。研究结果表明，研究范围广泛，涵盖了许多学科，但研究深度不够。发达国家的研究占主导地位，尽管疫情对发展中国家的可持续发展构成的挑战比发达国家更为严峻。发达国家致力于研究教育可持续性，而发展中国家在疫情期间对经济可持续性表现出了更大的关注。聚类分析还表明，新冠疫情对 17 个可持续发展目标产生了负面影响，而疫情也可能为另外 14 个可持续发展目标带来机遇。文章最后，我们就后疫情时代实现可持续发展目标提出了相关建议。
