Abstract

The integration of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into decision-making processes across various sectors has become a pressing issue in contemporary global governance. This paper explores the intersection of SDGs and decision sciences, emphasizing the challenges and opportunities in applying quantitative and qualitative methods to achieve sustainable outcomes. It discusses how decision sciences, including operations research, management science, and economics, can inform policy formulation and implementation to advance the SDGs. The paper highlights the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration in addressing complex sustainability issues, such as climate change, inequality, and environmental degradation. Furthermore, it examines the role of decision-making frameworks in promoting sustainable practices and examines case studies that illustrate the application of these frameworks in real-world scenarios. The paper concludes with a discussion on the limitations and future directions for research in this field, emphasizing the need for a more nuanced understanding of the dynamics between SDGs and decision-making sciences.
