Why Arts and Culture are Important
Why Arts and Culture are Important
Arts and Culture is an end in itself, and we need to safeguard and promote it. They contribute directly to how societies should develop - that enshrines a paradiagm shift in thinking about development beyond economic growth and envisions a desirable future that is equitable, inclusive, harmonious, and environmentally sustainable. Human Development demand creative approaches, beyond the typical linear and sectoral ones that most countries have been used to in recent decades.
It's Relevance to the Sustainable Development Goals
It's Relevance to the Sustainable Development Goals
If the SDGs are grouped around the economic, social, and environmental objectives as the three pillars of sustainable development, then culture and creativity contribute to each of these pillars transversally. The economic, social, and environmental dimensions of sustainable development, in turn, contribute to the safeguarding of cultural heritage and nurturing creativity.
Arts, Culture, Heritage and Creativity — both tangible and intangible — are resources that need to be protected and carefully managed. They can serve both as drivers for achieving the SDGs as well as enablers, when culture-forward solutions can ensure the success of interventions to achieve the SDGs.

WEF on Arts & Culture
WEF on Arts & Culture
"The arts are a fundamental element of a healthy society that helps us interpret both the world and one another - particularly during periods when social contact might be limited to faces on a computer screen and streaming entertainment. Our understanding of the world, in turn, informs our decision-making - which makes the roles of artists critical. A number of issues in the realm of arts and culture now merit particularly close attention, including heritage protection, cultural sustainability, the health of cultural and creative industries, the inclusiveness of cities, arts education, and the rights and freedoms of individual artists"
The Creative Economy Programme by UNCTAD
The Creative Economy Programme by UNCTAD
"The creative industries – which include advertising, architecture, arts and crafts, design, fashion, film, video, photography, music, performing arts, publishing, research & development, software, computer games, electronic publishing, and TV/radio – are the lifeblood of the creative economy. They are also considered an important source of commercial and cultural value.
The creative economy is the sum of all the parts of the creative industries, including trade, labour and production. Today, the creative industries are among the most dynamic sectors in the world economy providing new opportunities for developing countries to leapfrog into emerging high-growth areas of the world economy."
UNESCO Creative Cities
UNESCO Creative Cities
"Urban areas are today’s principal breeding grounds for the development of new strategies, policies and initiatives aimed at making culture and creativity a driving force for sustainable development and urban regeneration through the stimulation of growth and innovation and the promotion of social cohesion, citizen well-being and inter-cultural dialogue. In this way cities respond to the major challenges with which they are confronted, such as the economic crisis, environmental impacts, demographic growth and social tensions.
Not to mention that cities are today home to more than half the world’s population and three quarters of its economic activity, including a large share of the creative economy."
