Pakistan advances SDGs amid triple crises

Despite grappling with the triple crises of food, fuel, and finance, Pakistan has made progress in implementing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), aimed at ending poverty, protecting the planet, and improving lives worldwide. Speaking at the High-Level Political Forum under the auspices of the UN Economic and Social Council, Ambassador Usman Jadoon, acting permanent representative to the UN, highlighted Pakistan’s integration of the UN’s 2030 Agenda for SDGs into national development policies and plans. “We have made progress in SDG implementation. However, like other developing countries, Pakistan faces numerous challenges in achieving the SDGs by 2030,” said Jadoon. The Pakistani envoy called for greater financing and fiscal space to help developing countries accomplish these goals.
