Charter of the Economy Adequate and Affordable Housing(Target 11.1): There is an acute shortage of housing in the country. According to the LSSMS Survey of the PBS, 28 percent of the households live in housing units with only one room as of 2018-19. Also, only 33 percent of the housing units have‘pucca’(RCC/RBC) roofs. Other Environmental Indicators(SDG 12 to 15): The Yale University Environmental Performance Index of 2020 ranks Pakistan at 142 nd out of 180 countries. The ranking is especially low in air quality, sanitation and drinking water and wastewater treatment. Relatively high ranking has been obtained in marine protected areas, tree cover loss, grass land loss, wet land loss and fish stock status. Overall, the performance of Pakistan is behind in the extent to which the targets have been achieved by 2019 because the rate of improvement is very slow or there has actually been some worsening. The relative lack of progress by Pakistan up to 2020 in achieving the SDGs has also been highlighted in the Global SDGs Progress Report 2020 prepared by a team led by Professor Jeffrey Sachs. Pakistan is ranked 134 th out of 166 countries. Pakistan has the lowest ranking among South Asian Countries as shown below: Countries Score* Bangladesh 63.5 India 61.9 Nepal 65.9 Pakistan 56.2 Sri Lanka 66.9 *The maximum score is 100. Ranking 109 117 96 134 94 The lack of progress on the SDGs has been further hampered by the large negative impact of successive waves of COVID-19 on the national economy which has rendered it even more difficult to achieve the SDG targets by 2030. The five SDGs that have been most affected are as follows: SDG 1 No Poverty SDG 2 Zero Hunger SDG 3 Health and Well-being SDG 8 Decent Work and Economic Growth SDG 10 Reduced Inequalities A recent report by the UN on Financing for Sustainable Development has expressed the concern that COVID-19 could push achievement of the SDGs much beyond 2030. The terminal year may need to be extended to 2035 or even 2040. 29.3. Planning for the SDGs Achievement of the SDGs will require planning jointly by the Federal and Provincial Governments in Pakistan. The latter are responsible for the provision of basic social services 308
