UNESCO and Sustainable Development

Fondazione Santagata develops research projects and higher education courses on policies, tools and plans related to UNESCO Conventions and Programs (World Heritage List, Man and Biosphere Network, Intangible Heritage, Creative Cities Network). In this respect, great attention is dedicated to the relationship between heritage and sustainable development, also at the center of the 2030 UN Agenda.

Fondazione Santagata is also partner to University of Turin’s UNESCO Chair in “Sustainable Development and Territory Management” and promoter and coordinator of the UNESCO-ITRECH Centre (International Training and Research Centre on the Economics of Culture and World Heritage), officially approved by World Heritage Assembly member States in 2011.
