Abstract

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is a laudable attempt to portray a comprehensive global vision towards progress in a plethora of socioeconomic and environmental issues that we face today. However, this holistic view of progress presents countries with substantial difficulties in implementation in that the 17 goals and 169 targets are inherently complex and intertwined. Recognizing these difficulties, we are utilizing cutting-edge methods from complexity science coupled with economic analysis to consider the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a complex system, in an attempt to identify the pathways Pakistan can take in implementing the broad spectrum of goals and targets. Ultimately, we seek to provide for a guidebook that Pakistan can complement with its national development plan, Vision 2025, in the early stages of implementation of the SDGs, fully regarding their unique situations and development paths.
