Discussions centered on the six themes of MONDIACULT 2025, encompassing cultural rights, digital technologies in the cultural sector, the cultural economy, climate action, culture for peace and artificial intelligence in culture, and emerging concerns affecting the sector.

This regional consultation provided an opportunity for the participants to share ideas and perspectives on positioning culture as a stand-alone goal in the post-2030 UN Sustainable Development Agenda.

Building on the MONDIACULT 2022 Declaration, participants reaffirmed the importance of cultural rights, diversity, and rights-based policies. Key recommendations included integrating culture and arts into education, strengthening digital frameworks, incorporating Indigenous knowledge into climate strategies, ensuring ethical AI governance, and promoting international cooperation. 

Discussions also highlighted the need for inclusive policies, sustainable funding, and robust data frameworks to monitor progress. Bridging the digital divide and supporting creative industries were also prioritized, balancing economic growth with cultural integrity.

During this regional consultation, Member States collectively committed to establishing culture as a standalone goal, enhancing cooperation, strengthening data frameworks, and recognizing culture as a global public good.
