Pakistan must urgently realign its development priorities with the global 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, Federal Minister for Climate Change Dr Musadik Malik said on Tuesday.
Speaking at the Pakistan SDG's Policy Dialogue for Action in Islamabad, he warned that the country ranks lowest in South Asia in terms of SDG progress.
Currently, Pakistan stands at 137th out of 166 countries in the 2024 SDG Index, with a score of just 57.02, significantly behind regional neighbors such as India (63.99), Bangladesh (64.35), and Sri Lanka (67.43).
