Culture as a driving force for sustainability

Time:       14th June, 10.45-12.15

Description:
The aim of the seminar is to address the direct nexus between culture and the
achievement of the global sustainability & climate goals 2030 within the Baltic Sea Region.
The proposed seminar will focus on two ways in which culture fosters sustainable
development: as a driver and as an enabler. During the session, the participants discuss how the cultural and creative sectors can contribute to achieving the global sustainability & climate goals 2030 and where there is
potential to link up activities and support each other in achieving these goals.
