Open Roadmap for the implementation of the 2005 Convention in the Digital Environment

The Open Roadmap is a tool to help Parties to the 2005 Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions meet the challenges and seize the opportunities offered by the digital environment. Following the unanimous adoption of Operational Guidelines on the Implementation of the Convention in the Digital Environment in 2017, the Secretariat developed this flexible framework that offers a range of possibilities to promote and protect the diversity of cultural expressions in the digital environment. The Open Roadmap suggests clear expected results and concrete reference activities to protect the means of creation, production, dissemination, access, and exchange of cultural goods and services in the face of rapid technological changes. Parties are invited to take ownership of the Open Roadmap and to adapt it according to their needs, resources and priorities.
