In the years leading to the adoption of the SDGs, several global networks campaigned, under the banner ‘The Future We Want Includes Culture’, for the inclusion of one specific goal devoted to culture, or for the integration of cultural aspects across the SDGs. This campaign was also known as the #culture2015goal campaign.
The networks leading the campaign are: IFACCA, IFCCD, Agenda 21 for culture (UCLG), Culture Action Europe, Arterial Network, IMC – International Music Council, ICOMOS, IFLA and the Latinoamerican Network of Arts for Social Transformation.
Four documents, including a #CultureGoal proposal, a declaration, a proposal of possible indicators for measuring the cultural aspects of the SDGs, and an assessment of the final 2030 Agenda were produced between 2013 and 2015. The declaration released in May 2014 was endorsed by 843 organisations and 2135 individuals.
In 2019, the campaign published the report “Culture in the implementation of the 2030 Agenda”. It analyses the national reviews submitted to the High Level Political Forum – HLPF (the UN Body that guides the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals – SDG). The report makes evident the (still marginal) presence of cultural factors and actors in the implementation of the SDG. On the occasion of this report, the campaign changed its name to #culture2030goal.
