Presentation
Strengthening the Role of Culture in the Post-MDGs Framework
Lynne Patchett
Chief of the Executive Office, UNESCO Culture Sector
Good afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen,
I would like to begin by thanking the organisers of this international symposium on
Culture and Development: the Korean National Commission for UNESCO and the Korean
Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, as well as the Korean International Cooperation
Agency for co-sponsoring this important meeting. It is both a pleasure and a privilege for me
to be invited here today.
In his presentation this morning, Professor David Throsby eloquently focused on creative
industries and their multi-faceted contribution and value for sustainable development. My
presentation picks up on his last point about the challenges ahead at the international level,
and of “effective integration of culture in sustainable development, together with crosscountry
evidence-building, to strengthen the understanding of culture’s contribution to
development in post 2015.” To do so, I will share with you the work that UNESCO has been
undertaking both at the institutional level and in the field, to awareness raise about the
importance of culture for development, in order to include culture in the post-2015
international development agenda. Why? Because we have examples from the field that show
us that it works.
Before embarking on this, allow me briefly to set the context.
As you know, UNESCO is the UN Specialized Agency with a specific mandate and
expertise on culture. We have developed a comprehensive set of normative instruments in
the area of culture, ranging from tangible heritage (1972 Convention), intangible heritage
(2003 Convention), and underwater cultural heritage (2001 Convention), but also illicit
international trafficking of cultural property, the protection of cultural property in the event of
armed conflict and (1954, 1970 Convention), cultural industries and the diversity of cultural
expressions (the 2005 Convention).
Through these Conventions and Recommendations and associated operational
programmes, UNESCO contributes to building the capacity of cultural institutions at country
level, networks of professionals, communities, and to the development of norms, standards
and legislation in all culture fields.
