Surveys on thematic initiatives of the Secretariat
In line with UNESCO’s Medium-Term Strategy for 2022–2029 (41C/4), the Operational Directives of the Convention (Chapter VI) and the Committee’s decisions (Decisions 15.COM 8 and 16.COM 5.b), the Secretariat has initiated activities in the following specific thematic areas to develop a comprehensive approach to intangible cultural heritage safeguarding and sustainable development:
- Economic dimensions of safeguarding intangible cultural heritage
- Safeguarding intangible cultural heritage and climate change
- Safeguarding intangible cultural heritage in urban contexts
For each thematic area, a series of actions are being undertaken, including preparative steps to develop a guidance note, with the aim to enhance understanding and identify areas for future action in the framework of the 2003 Convention.
As part of the initiatives, stakeholders of the 2003 Convention are invited to take part in the three online surveys regarding the thematic initiatives of the Secretariat to develop a comprehensive approach to intangible cultural heritage safeguarding and sustainable development.
