Systematic Analysis of the Implementation of Sustainable Development Goals on Energy, Industrialization, Infrastructure, and Innovation: A Multifaceted Philippines

The Philippines has been one of the countries that commit to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. This agenda encloses the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) of the United Nations that provide a holistic framework for global transformation by taking actions to end various issues and concerns around the world. Among the 17 goals, this paper aims to systematically review the current state of the national implementation of SDGs about the utilization of accessible and clean energy resources, development of manufacturing industries, and improvements in infrastructures and innovations. It focused on discussing the challenges faced by each sector, plans and opportunities set by the national government, and the progress report based on the SDG Watch that is systematically collated by the Philippine Statistics Authority as the official storehouse data of SDG indicators in the country. Future directives were also provided from the perspective of the research industry, human resources, and government. Overall, this study provides a closely summarized review in monitoring the progress of the Philippines in achieving SDGs 7 and 9.
