The world faces escalating environmental challenges that demand united, innovative approaches. However, these solutions cannot exist in isolation from the ecosystems, communities, and cultural heritage of the land stewards who have cared for these environments over generations. To create lasting, impactful change, we must cultivate solutions that are rooted in a deep respect for nature, community, and culture.

Arts and culture professionals possess a rich array of knowledge, spanning historical, social, and environmental dimensions. Their work captures the emotional and cultural resonance of environmental issues, making them natural partners in the effort to repair our planet. 

The congress underscores the role of the cultural sector in fostering a shared sense of responsibility for the earth by integrating sustainable practices into the fabric of everyday life. It emphasizes the sector’s influence in addressing interconnected environmental issues, such as climate change, biodiversity loss, and land degradation, by inspiring action and building awareness within communities.
