Outcomes of China-Pakistan Economic Corridor Project Realization for SDGs in Pakistan

My research is devoted to connection between China-Pakistan Economic Corridor and Sustainable Development Goals. The significance of this study arises from the growing importance of sustainable development initiatives globally and the potential impact of large-scale infrastructure projects, such as CPEC, on achieving these goals. Despite the widespread attention given to CPEC, there is a gap in understanding its alignment with the SDGs and its potential contributions to sustainable development in Pakistan. The primary objective of this research is to analyze the extent to which CPEC projects align with the SDGs and contribute to sustainable development outcomes in Pakistan. By examining the economic, social, and environmental dimensions of CPEC projects, this study aims to identify key areas of synergy and potential areas of tension between CPEC and the SDGs. The methodology employed in this research involves a comprehensive review of existing literature on CPEC, the SDGs, and sustainable development in Pakistan. Additionally, quantitative analysis techniques such as regression analysis, Pilesorting and Freelisting are applied to assess the impact of CPEC projects on various SDG indicators as well as perception and attitudes to this project and its influence in particular.
