The article explores multilayer strategic planning challenges for sustainable development within the framework of continuous global economic transformation. The increasing focus on environmental deterioration, disparities in social status, and unstable economies presents obstacles for national governments as well as multinational enterprises seeking to adopt sustainable development strategies. Among the many challenges of globalization, this article explores key aspects of multi-level strategic planning at the global, national and local levels. The study aimed to examine diverse methods of multi-level strategic planning within the framework of globalization. Consequently, a multi-level strategic planning model was constructed that considers the impact of environmental, social, and economic factors in addition to the well-known ones to accomplish sustainable development objectives. The paper highlights the value of the systemic approach by demonstrating how efficient multi-level planning supports the financial stability of economic actors in the context of globalization. The paper also offers insightful suggestions for businesses, governments, and international organizations.
