The Ministry of Culture’s commitment to sustainable development not only underscores the nation’s dedication to preserving the planet for future generations but also aims to foster a culture of shared responsibility within the creative community.
We highly encourage applicants of the National Grant Program for Culture and Creativity to consider how their projects or participations could help contribute to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through raising awareness or making change. Creatives have the power to inspire widespread change and raise awareness about the importance of safeguarding our environment, catalyzing a paradigm shift towards greener and more sustainable creative industries. By integrating environmentally-friendly practices, carefully selecting materials, minimizing waste, and adopting renewable energy sources, creative professionals can play a pivotal role in advancing the UAE’s Green Agenda 2030 and leveraging the transformative power of culture in addressing global pressing challenges.
The National Grant Program for Culture and Creativity has proudly received the Sustainable Impact Label from Majra.
Note: Applicants that integrate sustainable practices or ESG priniciples within their projects are eligible to receiving additional points within the evaluation.
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are 17 connected aims designed to provide a “roadmap for attaining a better and more sustainable future for all people”. .
