The Culture|2030 Indicators is a framework of thematic indicators whose purpose is to measure and monitor the progress of culture’s enabling contribution to the national and local implementation of the Goals and Targets of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (SDGs). The framework of indicators assesses both the role of culture as a sector of activity, as well as the transversal contribution of culture across different SDGs and policy areas. As a set of thematic indicators implemented on a voluntary basis, it is intended to support and complement the global indicators agreed upon within the 2030 Agenda and foster linkages between different Goals and Targets. The Culture|2030 Indicators provide a conceptual framework and methodological instruments for countries and cities to assess the contribution of culture to the SDGs as part of the existing implementation mechanisms of the 2030 Agenda at the national or local level. The methodology of the Culture|2030 Indicators relies as much as possible on existing data sources, using both qualitative and quantitative data to assess the contribution of culture. Evidence gathered will inform policies and decisions as well as operational actions. The initiative is an innovative effort to establish a methodology for demonstrating and making visible culture’s impact on the UN Sustainable Development Goals in a way that helps decision-makers. By strengthening the transversal visibility of culture in the 2030 Agenda, the Culture|2030 Indicators will help build a coherent and strong narrative on culture’s role in sustainable development that is evidence-based.
