Launch of the UNESCO brochure "Culture for the 2030 Agenda", on 17 July 2018 at the United Nations Headquarters in New York.

The brochure "Culture for the 2030 Agenda" was launched at a high-level business breakfast organized by UNESCO and the Permanent Mission of Peru to the United Nations, on the sidelines of the 2018 High-Level Political Forum.

"It demonstrates the vast scope of culture's contribution to sustainable development. It aims to shape a clearer understanding of the crucial role of culture in implementing the 2030 Agenda, share best practices and showcase examples of UNESCO's activities" says Audrey Azoulay, the Director-General of the Organization, in the hope that "a renewed emphasis on culture will help spur greater intercultural dialogue to encourage a climate of peace, a prerequisite for sustainable development."
