Achieving sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is a challenge for both developed and developing countries. Different countries have adopted multifarious policy measures to instate these targets. However, the performance of these countries shows a pattern of development according to their system of governance. The paper magnetizes a cross-country analysis of different nations, segmented on the basis of their system of governance, towards achieving the SDGs. It shows a trend analysis of different SDGs and the extent of challenges in these countries, in the past twenty years (2000-2019). It has been observed that the performance of federal countries is relatively better than the performance of countries with a one-party system and the countries with absolute monarchies. The paper advocates the idea of cooperative federalism and shows how it can play a definitive role in achieving SDGs.
