Pandemics such as COVID-19 have lethal potential for inflicting long-lasting cyclic devastations if required preventive, curative and reformative steps are not taken up in time which puts forth mammoth multi-dimensional challenges for survival before mankind. Scientists and policymakers all around are striving to achieve R \leq 1 alongside having less number of CoVID-19 patients. Lockdowns all across the globe have been implemented for the sake of social physical distancing. However, even if the desired R value status is achieved it becomes nowhere near safe. As normal social activity and inter-regional travel resumes, danger of contraction of the virus from undetected asymptomatic carriers and reactivation of the virus in previously affected patients looms over. The virus poses further threat due to its chances of resurgence, its mutative and adaptive nature thereby giving limited medical respite. The problems intensify with increasing population density whilst varying with several socio-economic-geo-cultural and human activity parameters. Such zoonotic pandemics unravel the primary challenges of all countries in securing the general wellbeing of the society. Ensuring a mechanism for policy designs envisaging crisis scenarios through continuous analysis of real-time region-specific data about societal activities and disease / health indicators can be the only solution. An approach perspective is discussed for addressing the tightly-coupled UN Sustainable goals (2, 3, 6, 12 and 13) for developing a general-scale computational agent-based model to estimate the downstream and upstream measures for achieving requisite societal behavioural changes with the prognostic knowledge concerning the conditions and options for future scenarios of stable sustainability .
 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 .
