“…Despite the continuous acknowledgement of culture as a dimension in sustainable development [74,75], it has been rarely incorporated [62]. International, national, regional, and local policy aimed at sustainable development often examines the cultural dimension as part of the social one or completely ignores it [76,77]. Pizzirani,McLaren [62] also differentiated the social indicators from the cultural once as shown in Table 3.…”

Most countries have developed green building rating tools that are based on social, environmental, and economic dimensions. Pakistan followed a similar approach and has developed a rating tool known as Sustainability in Energy and Environmental Development (SEED). However, SEED is built on developed western countries’ rating tool standards which do not address Pakistan’s unique local context, especially from the cultural and governmental perspectives. This research aims to fill this research gap by developing a holistic framework of building rating tools that incorporates cultural and governmental dimensions. Based on an extensive literature review, a hypothetical framework, incorporating Pakistan’s unique local contexts and adding cultural and governmental dimensions to the widely adopted social, environmental, and economic dimensions of sustainability, was proposed in this paper. This framework was further validated by in-depth interviews with multiple stakeholders in Pakistan. A qualitative analysis of the interview results was carried out, and the final framework was proposed with key indicators, reflecting all five dimensions of sustainability. The verified sustainability framework can be used to improve or develop green building rating tools for Pakistan, and it can also inform other developing countries’ rating tool development.

“…Culture is a tool to mitigate the effects of climate change through each countries knowledge and cultural heritage (Barker, 2019;Wiktor-Mach, 2018). Culture and the creative industry have the responsibility to safeguard and sustain cultural practices and rights; to 'green' the operations and impacts of cultural organizations and industries; to raise awareness and catalyze actions about sustainability and climate change; and to foster 'ecological citizenship' (Duxbury et al, 2017;Isar, 2017;Jeannotte, 2017;Loach et al, 2017;Maxwell & Miller, 2017;Throsby, 2017).…”

This research aims to analyze how the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are included in the EU cultural policies and which are the priorities of the European Union (EU) in the cultural sustainability’s agenda. We performed a content analysis of the EU Countries’ cultural policies, evaluating the grade of inclusion of the SDGs. The conclusions show that the EU cultural policies, although not explicitly, include the SDGs in the definition of their strategies, policies, projects and actions. Specifically, eight of the seventeen SDGs are included in relation to the following interdisciplinary topics: Cultural and Natural Heritage (SDG11), Cultural Education (SDG 4), Cultural Diversity (SDG 4), Social Inclusion (SDG 10), Information Access (SDG 16), Cooperation with other institutions (SDG 17), Environment (SDG 13), Economic Growth (SDG 8) and Gender Equality (SDG 5). Topics’ priorities are generally commonly defined in the different EU countries.

“…Beyond agency of cultural communities, links between the relatively young fields of cultural policy and arts and cultural management and the area of ecology and climate change are recent, and often emerge through the murky guise of sustainability or in complex association with the words 'culture', 'sustainable' and 'development' (Isar, 2017). Isar (2017 p.154) finds the engagement of cultural policy and arts management in 'ecological' sustainability to be problematic, because of the conflation of the meaning of culture as the arts and heritage and as a way of life, which is not operationally translatable in terms of public policy, since cultural policy is arts and heritage.…”
