Abstract

The study aims to inquire about the level of understanding of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Sustainable Finance (SF), and Financial Inclusion (FI) among business graduates. The data were collected through a self‐administered questionnaire from 342 business graduates from different universities in a developing country like Pakistan. The findings revealed that the respondents have a no‐to‐low understanding of SF, FI, and the role or importance of these in achieving the 17 SDGs. The findings suggest major revisions in the structure and contents of different business degrees in Pakistan. Overall, the study opens new avenues for research and provides important insights for all the key stakeholders, including universities, higher education institutions (HEIs), the Higher Education Commission (HEC), students, and parents. The study also has social and practical implications for various stakeholders in the HEIs.

可持续发展目标、可持续金融和金融包容性：商科毕业生的认识视角

本研究旨在了解商科毕业生对可持续发展目标（SDGs）、可持续金融（SF）和金融包容性（FI）的理解程度。数据是通过自填问卷的方式从巴基斯坦这样一个发展中国家不同大学的 342 名商科毕业生中收集的。调查结果显示，受访者对可持续金融（SF）、金融包容性（FI）以及它们在实现 17 项可持续发展目标中的作用或重要性的了解程度很低。调查结果建议对巴基斯坦不同商科学位的结构和内容进行重大修订。总之，本研究为研究开辟了新途径，并为包括大学、高等教育机构 (HEI)、高等教育委员会 (HEC)、学生和家长在内的所有主要利益相关者提供了重要见解。本研究还对高等教育机构的各利益相关方具有社会和实际影响。

期刊介绍： Natural Resources Forum, a United Nations Sustainable Development Journal, focuses on international, multidisciplinary issues related to sustainable development, with an emphasis on developing countries. The journal seeks to address gaps in current knowledge and stimulate policy discussions on the most critical issues associated with the sustainable development agenda, by promoting research that integrates the social, economic, and environmental dimensions of sustainable development. Contributions that inform the global policy debate through pragmatic lessons learned from experience at the local, national, and global levels are encouraged. The Journal considers articles written on all topics relevant to sustainable development. In addition, it dedicates series, issues and special sections to specific themes that are relevant to the current discussions of the United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development (CSD). Articles must be based on original research and must be relevant to policy-making. Criteria for selection of submitted articles include: 1) Relevance and importance of the topic discussed to sustainable development in general, both in terms of policy impacts and gaps in current knowledge being addressed by the article; 2) Treatment of the topic that incorporates social, economic and environmental aspects of sustainable development, rather than focusing purely on sectoral and/or technical aspects; 3) Articles must contain original applied material drawn from concrete projects, policy implementation, or literature reviews; purely theoretical papers are not entertained.
