Cultural Policies for Sustainable Development

Routledge,
22 March 2018, England

The concept of sustainable development is commonly divided into environmental, economic, social and cultural dimensions. While a variety of international actors have declared the importance of culture in sustainable development, jointly articulating this clearly has been difficult and consequently. For example, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that were adopted by the UN General Assembly in September 2015 contained only the most fleeting mention of culture. None of the SDG goals referred directly to the case for integrating culture into sustainable development planning and decision-making. The role of cultural policy has remained unclear.
