The UNESCO Culture 2030 Indicators project is a framework designed to monitor and evaluate the role of culture in sustainable development.
The collaboration between WBS, Coventry, and UNESCO is also supported by the UK Department for Culture, Media and Sport. This partnership aims to position the UK as a leader in cultural data management and sustainable development. By contributing to this groundbreaking project, WBS and Coventry are helping to shape policies and practices that will benefit communities worldwide.
Mark Scott, Research Fellow at WBS who is a leading place and culture data expert with extensive experience of working with the local cultural sector and colleagues in Coventry City Council, said:
“The UNESCO project encompasses a range of thematic indicators that assess various aspects of cultural impact, from heritage preservation to cultural participation and education. The inclusion of the City of Coventry and WBS in this project not only reinforces Coventry's legacy as a City of Culture but also highlights Warwick Business School’s commitment to leveraging research and data to drive impactful global change."
"Being part of the UNESCO Culture 2030 Indicators project is a tremendous honour for WBS. This collaboration underscores our dedication to cultural sustainability and our role in shaping a better future through informed research and data-driven strategies."
