  COVID-19 pandemic has sharply projected the globally persistent
multi-dimensional fundamental challenges in securing general socio-economic
wellbeing of the society. The problems intensify with increasing population
densities and also vary with several socio-economic-geo-cultural activity
parameters. These problems directly highlight the urgent need for accomplishing
the interdependent United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to
ensure that in future we do not enter into vicious loops of contracting newer
zoonotic viruses and need not search for their vaccines while incurring
socio-economic havoc. Behavioural changes in human activities/responses are
indispensable for achieving the interdependent SDGs. Using root cause analysis
approach, we have developed a yearly assessment framework for viably analysing
and identifying requisite region-specific downstream/upstream socio-economic
policies to reach the SDGs. The framework makes use of an infographic bar chart
representation based on the normalised values of 20 human activity/impact
parameters classified under three categories as - negative, limiting and
positive. With a holistic view encompassing the SDGs, we illustrate through
this framework the impact and urgent need of region-specific human behavioural
reforms. This framework enables the foresight about policies regarding their
potential in bringing down the negative parameter values to the desired zero
level for accomplishing the SDGs through planetary health.
