Re|shaping Policies for Creativity: Addressing Culture as a Global Public Good Year of publication: 2023 Corporate author: UNESCO The Global Report series monitors the implementation of the 2005 Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions, as well as progress towards achieving the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, within and with the cultural and creative sectors. Its 2022 edition revolves around two major questions: What is the state of the cultural and creative sectors? What policy changes to promote sustainable, human rights-based systems of governance for culture and equitable access to cultural opportunities and resources have resulted from stakeholders’ implementation and ownership of the Convention? In line with the 2015 and 2018 editions, this third edition of the Report presents the latest policy developments to support creativity and sheds light on current and future challenges in areas such as the digital environment, media diversity, sustainable development, mobility of artists and cultural professionals, gender equality and artistic freedom. The trends, innovative practices, gaps and recommendations that emerge from the 2022 edition provide valuable evidence to inform the policy dialogue leading up to the UNESCO World Conference on Cultural Policies and Sustainable Development – MONDIACULT 2022. With the mission to contribute to the 2030 Agenda, it feeds into a renewed vision of cultural policies based on a better understanding of what impacts the diversity of cultural expressions and the avenues for anchoring culture and creativity in the broader public policy spectrum.

Promoting Climate-Sensitive Early Childhood Care and Education in Emergencies Year of publication: 2023 Corporate author: Inter-agency Network for Education in Emergencies (INEE) This brief addresses a gap in climate change and education literature: young children who are affected by crises. Climate mitigation and adaptation efforts often exclude early childhood care and education (ECCE), especially in crises and emergencies. Therefore, the brief outlines multisectoral ECCE interventions that can serve as solutions to broader climate change mitigation and adaptation goals. These interventions look at long-term solutions that reduce children’s exposure to climate change risks. The aim of these long-term solutions is to create new climate-adapted ways of thinking, being, and doing by focusing on care – for each other and for the earth – and by building climate resilience among children and their supporting care systems.
