Culture & development, 14: 2030 Agenda, Regional Work Plan for Culture in Latin America and the Caribbean UNESCO LAC 2016-2021
The Plan will support the achievement of the new Sustainable Development Goals adopted by the United Nations General Assembly, proposing concrete actions and monitoring indicators on the defence, conservation and safeguarding of tangible and intangible heritage, the prevention and fight against the illicit trafficking of cultural property, the protection and promotion of the diversity of cultural expressions and the strengthening of cultural and creative industries.
In this 14th issue of Culture & Development magazine, the UNESCO Regional Office for Culture in Latin America and the Caribbean is pleased to present this Plan, which is the result of the joint effort of the Member States of the Organization in the region, through the commitment of its National Commissions for UNESCO, its Permanent Delegations, its centres under the auspices of the Organization, and, particularly, its civil societies and experts that in recent years have enriched UNESCO’s work across Latin America and the Caribbean, as well as of UNESCO’s eleven offices throughout the continent.
The issue also includes UNESCO’s work in the sphere of culture, the Culture for Development Indicators, the contents of previous issues, and a summary of the 2030 Agenda.
