I had the opportunity on 7 August 2019 in Kalmar to talk to Lena Ek<\/a>, former Swedish Minister of the Environment (2011-2014) and directly involved in the negotiations of the United Nations Agenda 2030 and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)<\/a>. On my question about the prospects for making cultural sustainability more prominent in future global sustainability goals, she pointed out three important issues:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The SDGs focus on the most prioritised issues only, and it is significant already that culture is mentioned twice in the current targets (SDG 4.7 and SDG 11.4).<\/li>\n
  2. The SDGs evoke many other treaties and conventions, especially related to human rights. It may be important to relate cultural sustainability to cultural rights.<\/li>\n
  3. In the eyes of some nations, cultural issues and potential goals are not always very concrete or considered important for development, so there is room for more clarity on this.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
