Culture 2030 Goal Campaign [UCLG Decalogue]

Description

Building upon the advocacy and initiatives of several cultural global networks during the process of creation and adoption of the 2030 Agenda and the SDGs, the Culture 2030 Goal Campaign was initiated in 2018, calling for a stronger place for culture throughout the implementation of the current UN 2030 Agenda, the adoption of an explicit Goal for Culture in the Post-2030 Development Agenda, and the adoption of an ambitious and comprehensive Global Agenda for Culture.

It is led seven global actors, including the UCLG Culture Committee, Arterial Network, Culture Action Europe, International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS), International Federation of Coalitions for Cultural Diversity (IFCCD), International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), International Music Council (IMC).

In April 2020 the campaign initiated the development of a strategic framework within the context of the UN Decade of Action:

Vision: The recognition of culture as the fourth pillar of sustainable development;
Mission: To mainstream culture across the global development agenda;
Values/Beliefs: are rooted in the #culture2015goal Manifesto of 2014 and the #CultureCOVID19 Statement of 2020;
Goals include:
A stronger place for culture throughout the implementation of the current global development agenda (the UN 2030 Agenda),
