Methodical planning for formulating sustainability policy is needed to meet the ambitious United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This paper proposes an approach for such planning for low-income nations by systematically dividing the principal sustainability policy into manageable policy categories. These categories encompass all 17 SDGs, enabling policymakers to take into account the complex interlinkages of the SDGs for sustainability planning. Key actions that need to be taken in each policy category to enhance sustainability are then identified. In order to ensure that the planning process is holistic, analysis of the interlinkages of SDGs is carried out based on prioritisation of the relative importance of each Goal. Although the priority of each Goal can be country specific, interlinkages among Goals 1, 7 and 9 are analysed as an example to illustrate the proposed approach. Top-down approach of the UN's global sustainability agenda is integrated with a bottom-up approach of empowering and promoting local knowledge of low-income nations to develop the planning and policy approach presented in this paper. Finally, research gaps are highlighted to support the achievement of sustainability targets and further enhance the benefits of academic research to low-income nations.

为了实现雄心勃勃的联合国可持续发展目标 (SDG)，需要有条不紊地规划制定可持续发展政策。本文通过系统地将主要可持续性政策划分为可管理的政策类别，提出了一种为低收入国家进行此类规划的方法。这些类别涵盖所有 17 个可持续发展目标，使政策制定者能够在可持续发展规划中考虑可持续发展目标之间复杂的相互联系。然后确定需要在每个政策类别中采取的关键行动，以提高可持续性。为确保规划过程的整体性，根据每个目标的相对重要性的优先顺序对可持续发展目标的相互联系进行分析。尽管每个目标的优先事项可以针对具体国家，但目标 1、以图 7 和图 9 为例进行分析，以说明所提出的方法。联合国全球可持续发展议程的自上而下方法与自下而上的方法相结合，以增强和促进低收入国家的当地知识，以制定本文中提出的规划和政策方法。最后，突出研究差距以支持实现可持续发展目标并进一步提高学术研究对低收入国家的益处。
