#Culture2030goal coalition members welcome un general assembly president’s endorsement of statement on culture and Covid-19
1 July 2020
Culture has a vital role both in the immediate response to COVID-19, and in planning for longterm sustainable development. This fact is at the heart of the statement by IMC and its fellow members of the #Culture2030Goal Coalition on Culture and COVID-19 launched on 21 May.
With the endorsement of this statement by His Excellency Mr Tijjani Muhammad-Bande, President of the 74th UN General Assembly, there is a clear recognition at the highest levels of the need to give culture a more central role in decision-making, now and into the Decade of Action.
The #Culture2030Goal statement, originally signed by eight members of the coalition, and now with well over 200 supporters, makes the connection between culture, the COVID-19 pandemic, and long-term development planning.
