Intangible Cultural Heritage and Sustainable Development
Intended Audience
Useful to those working with both intangible heritage and sustainable development
- UNESCO
“The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development constitutes a plan of action addressing the three dimensions – economic, social and environmental – of
sustainable development through 17 Sustainable Development Goals as highly interdependent spheres of action that inform development pathways at all levels, and respecting the three fundamental principles of human rights, equality, and sustainability.
Intangible cultural heritage can effectively contribute to sustainable development along each of its three dimensions, as well as to the requirement of peace and security as fundamental prerequisites for sustainable development.
How can the place of intangible cultural heritage in sustainable development best be understood so that its contributions can be recognized and fully realized?” [p.3]
