How can cultural policies help shape more sustainable and inclusive creative economies? In this interview, Jordi Baltà Portolés, editor of UNESCO’s Re|shaping Policies for Creativity report series, reflects on how cultural policies can respond to rapid technological, social and environmental change. Drawing on insights from the 2026 edition, the conversation explores governance, digital environments, sustainability and the conditions needed to support artists, cultural professionals and diverse creative sectors. Aligned with UNESCO’s work under the 2005 Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions, the discussion highlights the role of culture and creativity in shaping more resilient and inclusive societies. 🔗 Read the report: https://www.unesco.org/en/reshaping-creativity-reports
