Les "Legacy Solutions - Cultural heritage in global climate action" her (PDF)
The Entertainment + Culture Pavilion har de siste par årene jobbet iherdig for å sette kunst og kulturarv på agendaen på internasjonale klimakonferanser.
The Entertainment + Culture Pavilion stands at the intersection of culture and climate action, dedicated to utilizing the transformative power of arts, entertainment, and cultural engagement to address global climate challenges.
Klimakultur arrangerte tidligere i år et webinar med stifterne av the Entertainment + Culture Pavilion om deres arbeid for å sette kunst, kultur og kulturarv på agendaen globalt. Se webinaret her.
E+Cs nye notat som ble lansert på COP29 i Baku omhandler hvilken rolle kulturarv og urfolkskunnskap bør ha både på klimatoppmøter og i det grønne skiftet.
Key points fra Legacy Solutions - Cultural heritage in global climate action:
- Climate change threatens both tangible and intangible cultural heritage, with Indigenous and
local communities particularly vulnerable. The loss of traditional practices and knowledge remains
insufficiently documented. - At the same time, there is consensus in the international community that Indigenous and local knowledge is vital for sustainable resource management and climate adaptation, providing locally-adapted methods developed over generations.
- Despite recognition of traditional knowledge in global climate policy, implementation gaps persist, with current frameworks often failing to protect Indigenous knowledge systems or engage Indigenous communities effectively.
- COP27 and COP28 have integrated cultural heritage into climate adaptation strategies, but funding and methods to address non-economic losses, including intangible heritage, are still inadequate.
- Global climate policies require more robust frameworks to address non-economic losses and to ensure the active participation of Indigenous peoples in decision making.
- Case studies from Kenya, Colombia, the Amazon and the Sundarbans show how policies can draw on local knowledge and practices to support communities and act on climate.
- Storytelling, cultural heritage and arts and longer narrative media work can bridge this global and digital divide. Arts are well documented as a way to improve science communications and climate education.
- There is a need for more data and profiling of the ability of the arts as capable of producing new climate solutions that are interdisciplinary, intergenerational and culturally sensitive.
"incorporating a broader range of worldviews, values and understandings of the relationship between people and nature into decision-making... leads to more balanced and sustainable environmental and
social outcomes."
