LIVING HERITAGE & SUSTAINABILITY

Exploring perspectives to sustainable development deepens understanding about the many roles living heritage can have

Many goals for more sustainable future

The principles and goals of sustainable development have been the subject of increasing attention, scrutiny, and discussion for decades. The significance of the theme has been further emphasised since 2015, when the United Nations Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development, along with its goals, the SDGs, was adopted for implementation.
Agenda 2030 and its objectives are a continuation of the United Nations Millennium Development Goals campaign, which ran from 2000 to 2015. At that time, there were eight goals. Now, the Agenda 2030 program includes 17 Sustainable Development Goals and 169 sub-goals.

Culture has a decisive role in sustainability transformation

The action plan identifies three dimensions of sustainable development: ecological, economic, and social sustainability. Ecological sustainability is often at the forefront, while the dimension of social sustainability is sometimes seen as challenging to grasp. An augmented version of this is the term socio-cultural sustainability, but there is also often discussion about the dimension of cultural sustainability, which, in addition to the three aforementioned dimensions, forms the fourth pillar of sustainable development.

Integrating culture either into social sustainability or entirely excluding it from visibility is justified by the notion that culture should be seen as a cross-cutting factor in achieving the sustainability goals. However, the explanation of cross-cutting nature hasn't been readily accepted, and the lack of visibility of culture in the Agenda 2030 program has been referred to as the "Missing Pillar".

Sustainable development is many things – simultaneously

When discussing sustainable development, attention is increasingly and rapidly drawn to climate change and its resulting phenomena. It is natural that aspects related to ecological sustainability are often in the forefront. Still, the more tangible the consequences of climate change become apparent in everyday life, the more clearly the issues of social and economic sustainability also open up to us. Instead of seeing sustainability "only" as sorting waste or giving up flying, the interdependence of sustainability as a whole—how different factors and dimensions intertwine—is becoming increasingly clear.
For example, drought and shortage of fresh water affect in so many different ways and intertwine problems to such an extent that it is difficult to say where the ecological dimension of the phenomenon would end and the social and cultural dimensions begin, as the consequences directly impact people's well-being and even threaten peaceful coexistence.

Starting from near is often the easiest approach

While it is also true that extensive and structural changes are needed to achieve sustainability transformation, it is important to work towards the goals at the levels of everyday activities. Understanding the multitude of sustainability perspectives and familiarity with sustainability thinking provides a basis for approaching the goals in a practical manner. Moreover, it is beneficial to break down the goals applicable to one's own actions into smaller ones so that they are appropriate to a given context.
It is  also important to ensure administratively sustainable development so that the different international and regional agreements, goals, and local action plans serve each other. Especially programmes and campaigns, whether by umbrella organizations, state agencies, ministries, or others, that call the grass-root level to action should also provide guidance and support, facilitate learning, and, quintessentially,  set an example.
