Abstract

Cultural heritage and sustainable development When we consider the role that cultural heritage has in sustainable development, we must first make the issue visible to analyze the state of the art. In 2015, when the United Nations (UN) General Assembly was held, the New Global Agenda for Sustainable Development was adopted. It meant a significant turning point because, for the first time, the cultural heritage is included. In this new global agenda, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are established to eradicate poverty, protect the planet and ensure prosperity. They are part of the New Global Agenda, whose deadline to be reached 2030 has the commitment of 193 countries. However, cultural heritage was long absent from the general debate on sustainable development despite its crucial importance to societies and broad recognition of its great potential to contribute to social, economic and environmental goals. The 2030 Agenda adopted by the UN General Assembly integrates, for the first time, the role of culture, through cultural heritage and creativity, as a facilitator of sustainable development in all the SDGs [1]. This inclusion signifies a significant change in how the convention is implemented. As indicated by the UN Organization for education, science and culture,
