The sustainability declaration for the cultural sector (Nachhaltigkeitsdeklaration für den Kulturbereich), signed by the Stiftung KUNSTFORUM der Berliner Volksbank gGmbH, enables art and cultural institutions, cultural administrations, cultural associations and those involved in culture in all cultural sectors to commit themselves to global climate and sustainability goals, to which we want to adhere.
The Sustainability Declaration substantiates the internationally shared framework of sustainable development in the UN Agenda 2030 and its far-reaching understanding of sustainability for the cultural sector. This includes both the UNESCO agreement to promote and protect the diversity of cultural expressions and the agreement of the Paris climate agreement to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees if possible.
