We happy to share the Conference paper Toward New Strategies for Culture in Sustainable Development, prepares jointly by UNESCO and the Goverment of Italy, with a new audience through this publication. The text contains ideas, principles, priorities and programmes initiatives distilled by both partners from their long-standing and profound commitment to culture in sustainable development. The paper was presented as 'work in progress', as we were confident that its themes would be enriched by the debates during the conference and continue to evolve thereafter. We were pleased to observe that the visions articulated by the paper guided and were endorsed by the reflections of some 800 distinguished participants - goverment ministers and senior officials, executive heads of financial institutions, mayors, senior foundation and business executives, artists, cultural leaders and acedemics, NGO activist - from the worlds of both cultural and financial policy-making.
