-
Pakistan was the first country to adopt SDGs 2030 agenda through a unanimous resolution of the Parliament of Pakistan. Pakistan has prioritized the SDGs which will enable us to join the league of upper middle-class countries by 2030 and for that we need more research and more informed policy. This conference will be an important milestone for achieving this objective.
-
The 2030 Agenda and the SDGs set a very ambitious vision for what humanity needs to accomplish by the year 2030. With just 9 years left, the UN has declared a Decade of Action; with an urgent call for accelerating efforts towards achieving the SDGs. Fundamental to these efforts is the awareness and dialogue to tackling global challenges and achieving the SDGs. The conference will be an important step towards this dialogue and is being held by collaboration of SDG units of governments Punjab and Pakistan and will deepen our understanding of the pathways that may contribute to SDGs.
-
SDGs are a relatively neglected area of emphasis in mainstream research in Pakistan. There is a dire need for creating awareness about and promotion of research in various SDGs. It is very important for the Pakistani academic community to assess the current state of the SDGs in the country and highlight its potential contributions to a better world. It is clear that the link between knowledge and action is not automatic, and needs to be cultivated, supported and steered to where it is most needed. The collaboration developed among researchers and policymakers by this conference will help bridge the gap.
-
The conference aims to provide a platform for academic community to get exposed to international research in the SDGs and highlight the various ways in which academics can help in achieving SDGs. This will provide them ideas for future research, allow them to interact and socialize with world-renowned researchers and professionals and enable research collaborations and further research alliances.
-
The conference will bring together the global experience and expertise of using universities as a way of achieving SDGs. Thus the conference in its broadest sense will include training and capacity building, communication and creating public awareness, scientific research, sharing and access to information and networking; emphasizing partnerships as a key strategy for achieving the SDGs.

Lahore is the city of wonders with a rich history of over a millennium. Lahore is the 2nd largest city of Pakistan and is capital of province of Punjab. Lahore is referred to as the cultural heart of Pakistan as it hosts most of the arts, cuisine, festivals, music, film-making, gardening and intelligentsia of the country. Its historical monuments are quite enthralling, as it was once the center of Mughal Emperors. It is an ancient city with plenty to explore and discover. Lahore has always been a centre for education, where 80 percent of Pakistan's books are published and remains the foremost centre of literary, educational and cultural activity in Pakistan. It is also very important from religious point of view as its hosts several shrines, temples and mosques dating back to hundreds of years.The walled city of Lahore
“I am an unseen and uncharted life hidden inside thirteen giant gates, though some I have lost still I hold the glory of the bygone days and the possessions of the past which the rulers left behind in my streets and edifices. I am walled city, the old Lahore; I am the essence of life, heritage and culture”. The walled city of Lahore, which no doubt is among the oldest settlements, is a cosmos of monuments, havelis, cuisines, bazaars, culture and traditions and all these features make it a living heritage museum. This city is a marvel inside thirteen gates with a unique and matchless lifestyle. (http://walledcitylahore.gop.pk/walled-city-of-lahore/)
