Intangible Heritage and Sustainable Development Framework

Intangible Heritage refers to the traditions, practices, knowledge, and skills passed down within communities, like oral stories, music, rituals, and craftsmanship. It is vital for cultural identity and diversity. The Sustainable Development Framework aims to balance economic growth, social inclusion, and environmental protection to ensure future generations can thrive. When applied to intangible heritage, it means supporting cultural practices in ways that are economically viable, socially inclusive, and environmentally respectful—helping communities preserve their traditions while contributing to overall sustainable development.
