This session will provide the main platform to present Version 1 of the Culture Goal, including its objectives and indicators, and to initiate a global conversation around it. It will be a key moment to hear, loud and clear, the voices of global cultural networks —specifically members of the Culture Goal 2030 campaign— at this turning point for culture within the global sustainable development agenda. The session will also feature perspectives from leading countries and key actors in this discussion. It is time for national and international spheres to receive a clear and unified message: culture matters, and the time for a dedicated Culture Goal is now.
