<p class="MsoNormal" align="justify">The strategic management of the transition to renewable energy sources is an utmost priority for developing nations to combat energy instability and climate change. Global cooperation and SDG–aligned policy execution are increasingly driving this transition in Pakistan. Pakistan’s foreign policy focuses on sustainable energy transition to address environmental problems and the growing energy demand, in line with SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy) and SDG 13 (Climate Action). This qualitative strategy research examines Pakistan’s renewable energy policies, international collaboration, and the implementation of large-scale projects. Systematic content analysis was used to scrutinize government reports, treaties, policy papers, and multilateral agreements. Theme coding and inclusion criteria highlighted important policy measures, diplomatic efforts, and project outcomes. This research is unique because it weighs the pros and cons of energy projects, such as the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), big hydropower dams, solar and wind parks, and guidelines for electric cars. Debt sustainability, social and environmental effects, governance problems, and grid integration are all important. The study systematically records bilateral and multilateral MoUs, project capacity, financial sources, and operational status to assess Pakistan’s energy diplomacy and strategic standing. The research shows that global partnerships and legislative initiatives have accelerated the adoption of renewable energy; however, institutional barriers and socio-environmental trade-offs persist. The study offers a distinctive perspective on Pakistan’s foreign policy’s influence on its transition to renewable energy, along with pragmatic suggestions to enhance governance, financing, and sustainable energy diplomacy.</p>
