This research study examines the impact of sustainable development goals indexes like education, infrastructure, foreign direct investment (FDI), and green energy transitions on economic growth. We used three decades annual time series data for the above indexes from period 1990 to 2020. We use the principal components analysis and vector error correction model (VECM) econometric techniques to investigate the statistical significancy of above employed indexes to study the effect both in long and short term. More especially, to examine the short-term effect of SDGs we used the NARDL approach to study the real-time effect. Considering the long-term coefficients on the economy of the country, the results primarily reveal that the education, foreign direct investment, and infrastructure is playing a significant positive role in the economic growth of Pakistan. Similarly, in short-term the foreign direct investment, infrastructure, and green energy transition coefficients are significant positive related to sustainable development goals. However, the education found as unsubstantial as cotribitive as other variables. The granger causality test is employed to estimate the causal association between the selected parameters. The estimated outcomes find the unidirectional causality from education and green energy transition towards economic growth, and education is found with in relation to infrastructure. Additionally, bidirectional causal relationship is found between FDI and infrastructure towards economic growth which shows that the increase in foreign investment have the potential to boost the economic growth. Finally, all the examined indexes are considered as important sources towards the economic growth.JEL classifications: F43; Q01; C23; N35
