SDPI is an independent non-profit organization to serve as a source of expertise for policy analysis and development, policy intervention, and policy and program advisory services. SDPI is registered under the Societies Registration Act, XXI of 1860 SDPI provides the global sustainable development community with representation from Pakistan as well as South Asia as a whole. The SDPI’s mission is to catalyse the transition towards sustainable development, defined as the enhancement of peace, social justice and well-being, within and across generations. SDPI’s vision is to be a center of excellence on sustainable development policy research, capacity development and advocacy in Pakistan.

SDPI continues to work on Sustainable Development Goals, of which Sustainable Consumption and Production (Goal 12) is a key element. In this respect, SDPI works closely with relevant ministries, civil society, academia and the private sector to inform effective policy and decision-making in making progress towards a circular and green economy.
