Description
The book offers a theoretical and practical analysis of the contemporary approach to art, culture and innovation, with special emphasis on the relationship between culture, innovation and the economy, in the context of green transition, as an indispensable sustainability factor.
It presents new models that can be implemented, especially within strategic cultural planning, serving to ensure future development and attain certain levels of stability. The book argues that the cultural ecosystem should not be treated as merely a segment of the economy, but rather as a system that contains the economy. One of the main issues covered in the book is climate change. More than fifty years have passed since the first major conference of the United Nations (UN) on the Environment held in Stockholm in 1972, which gave birth to the "Stockholm Declaration", and also cemented the global environmental movement. Thanks to Agenda 2030, the 17 Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Agreement, there is an increased awareness of the dangers posed by climate change and of the need to switch to sustainable energy sources and a circular economy in the hope of preventing environmental problems that threaten life on Earth. Each chapter provides an accessible bank of knowledge on which existing theory and practice can be developed and new projects undertaken.
The book adopts a highly interdisciplinary approach for open science, bridging theoretical insights with practical applications, and offers a comprehensive perspective that is both informative and actionable, so it can be used by academics, researchers, policy makers and cultural professionals for planning and development within the cultural sector.
Biljana Mickov is a cultural researcher and professor. She holds a PhD from University of Reims Champagne - Ardeen.
