“In my talk, I will begin by reviewing various academic definitions of culture.
I will then discuss the difficulties that arise in global policy contexts when there are competing (and confusing) understandings of the term 'culture'. This applies not only to the ongoing campaign to include culture in the Post-2030 Agenda but also to the efforts to do justice to the significance of culture in the work of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
I will conclude by sharing some of my own views on why culture matters in global contexts and what 'cultural sustainability' may mean.”
