The Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) set universal goals and suggest ways to help achieve social security, mitigate gender, racial and economic inequalities, and protect the environment and biodiversity. However, the current COVID-19 pandemic has made the achievement of these goals more distant and has impacted the development of the social, economic and environmental spheres, including the SDG. Therefore, the purpose of this article was to discuss how the COVID-19 pandemic is affecting the 2030 Agenda and its 17 SDG. It was developed using a methodology based on systematic literature review, through the consultation of digital libraries and publications on official websites. To achieve its objectives, the text is structured in topics with the 17 SDG and their respective impacts. The authors observed an increase in structural inequities in several spheres, such as health, education, housing, security, and food, with socioeconomically vulnerable populations being the most affected. With regard to the environment, there were improvements in the quality of air and water courses, however, there was an increase in the deposition of plastic in the oceans and in landfills due to the use of disposable personal protective equipment (PPE) by the global population. Furthermore, due to the approaching global depression, together with insufficient political and economic attention, it becomes uncertain and unlikely that the SDG will be achieved in 2030. It is concluded that there is a need for an integrated action between public policy makers, social actors and the private sector, so that they can give an effective response towards a single objective: the improvement of the quality of life of Planet Earth and of all beings that live in it.
The discussion about the existence of a spiritual plane and the possibility of communication between this plane and human beings permeates for decades, from which many questions arise, with the difficulty of proof by scientific means being the main obstacle. In this context, the authors intended to relate Spiritualist messages, such as the Deadline according to the medium Chico Xavier, as tools that are not only helpful in understanding, but are also part of science in actions to mitigate the environmental impacts caused by anthropic action. Therefore, this purpose was developed from a literature review, consulting the main academic research bases and reference books about Spiritism, in addition to the experience of the authors. It is suggested that the Covid-19 pandemic is the Deadline described by Chico Xavier, thus representing the most severe threat to global health in this century. The prophecy highlighted the various Spiritist communities with regard to the directions of Planet Earth associated with the current economic production model. Disordered consumption and exploration of natural resources have generated social, economic and environmental consequences that are being seen by the planet and that are related to the Spiritist practices with regard to the search for social equality in all its aspects. Therefore, the deceleration of industrial production, which leads to the enrichment of the few at the expense of the greater part of society, and the use of renewable environmental resources, as well as the protection of all biodiversity, must be encouraged. There is also an urgent need to consider Spiritism as a pillar for the development of science.

Esta ciência geográfica estuda as diversas relações existentes (sociais, educação, gênero, econômicas e ambientais), no desenvolvimento cultural e social.A percepção espacial possibilita a aquisição de conhecimentos e habilidades capazes de induzir mudanças de atitudes, resultando na construção de uma nova visão das relações do ser humano com o seu meio, e, portanto, gerando uma crescente demanda por profissionais atuantes nessas áreas.A ideia moderna da Geografia física, refere-se a um processo de mudança social geral, formulada no sentido positivo e natural, temporalmente progressivo e acumulativo, segue certas regras, etapas específicas e contínuas, de suposto caráter universal. Como se tem visto, a ideia não é só o termo descritivo de um processo e sim um artefato mensurador e normalizador das sociedades, tais discussões não apenas mais fundadas em critérios de relação homem e meio, mas também são incluídos fatores como educação, agroecologia, hidrografia e território.Neste sentido, este volume é dedicado a Geografia física. A importância dos estudos geográficos dessa vertente, é notada no cerne da ciência geográfica, tendo em vista o volume de artigos publicados. Nota-se também uma preocupação dos Geógrafos e profissionais de áreas afins, em desvendar a realidade dos espaços geográficos.Os organizadores da Atena Editora, agradecem especialmente os autores dos diversos capítulos apresentados, parabenizam a dedicação e esforço de cada um, os quais viabilizaram a construção dessa obra no viés da temática apresentada.Por fim, desejamos que esta obra, fruto do esforço de muitos, seja seminal para todos que vierem a utilizá-la.
