Integrating culture in various initiatives for achieving sustainable development goals
Culture is not only the treasure of knowledge, values and meanings that affect everyone’s life but also describes the way humans live and interact with each. Cultural rights, diversity and creativity are core components of human and sustainable development. Placing Culture at the heart of sustainable development will ultimately develop a relationship between culture and sustainable development in two ways: firstly it will involve the development of the cultural sector (i.e. heritage, creativity, cultural industries, crafts, cultural tourism); and secondly, it will ensure that culture has its rightful place in all public policies, mostly those related to education, the economy, science, social inclusion and international collaboration. So there is a need for integrating culture in the achievement of sustainable development goals (SDGs). Although none of the 17 SDGs emphases exclusively on culture but its various targets has clear references to cultural aspects like • Target 4.7 ensures that all learners attain the knowledge needed to promote sustainable development through education • Target 8.3 addresses the promotion of development-oriented policies that support creativity and innovation. • Targets 8.9 and 12.b refer to the need to plan and implement policies to promote sustainable tourism, including through local culture • Target 11.4 highlights the need to strengthen efforts to protect and safeguard the world’s cultural and natural heritage. This paper is based on secondary sources like government websites, United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) reports, United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) resolutions, journals (national and international accessed online), books, articles etc. and aims to compile such efforts of the UNESCO and Government of India for integrating culture in various initiatives for achieving Sustainable Development Goals. Some of such initiatives included in the paper are UNESCO Creative Cities Network (UCCN) Scheme, Government of India’s Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan’s component of culture education, HRIDAY Scheme, Swadesh Darshan Scheme and PRASAD Scheme.
