Abstract—The article is devoted to the analysis of the
opportunities, risks and threats of the crisis and post-crisis
period of the COVID19 pandemic, in particular, the assessment
of its impact on the achievement of sustainable development
goals. Particular attention is paid to systematizing the
short-term and long-term effects of the COVID19 pandemic,
affecting the formation of a circular economy. The object of
special attention is the role of digital technologies in the
formation of closed supply chains, as the basis for the
development of a circular economy, which contributes to the
highly effective achievement of sustainable development goals.
Based on the analysis of best practices, the article provides key
technologies that contribute to the spread of the principles of a
circular economy at different stages of the formation of closed
supply chains, as well as presents the necessary government
initiatives to mitigate the threats of the COVID19 pandemic.
