The Role of Culture in Sustainable Society – Sustainability in Art and Cultural Projects

Art and culture challenge and develop us as individuals and as a society, and can therefore help to promote a sustainable society.

From cultural heritage to cultural- and creative industries, culture is both an enabler and a driver of the economic, social, and environmental dimensions of sustainable development. Sustainability and culture have been widely discussed, but until now they have seldom been explicitly combined. Sustainability nowadays receives huge amounts of attention, and culture is an essential component of this sustainable development. Culture is a source of identity, innovation and creativity, both individually and on a community level, and it is an important factor in building social inclusion and economic growth.
