Culture has been placed firmly at the centre of the global sustainable development conversation following a landmark decision by the United Nations General Assembly to proclaim 2027–2036 as the International Decade of Culture for Sustainable Development.
The resolution was adopted on Friday, September 4, with 174 Member States voting in favour, marking what the St. Kitts-Nevis National Commission for UNESCO describes as a profound moment for the international community and a significant shift in how culture is viewed within the global development framework.
