International strategy devised by the Global Creative Economy Council
The Global Agenda for the Cultural and Creative Industries, a comprehensive report outlining 11 key actions for international creative industries and governments, was launched at the World Conference on Creative Economy held in Dubai. The report, titled "A Global Agenda for the Cultural and Creative Industries," is a contribution to the United Nations 2021 International Year of Creative Economy for Sustainable Development.
The report was written by the Global Creative Economy Council's predecessor, the PEC International Council, in partnership with the British Council and funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council. It is available in multiple languages, including Kazakh, Chinese (simplified and traditional), French, Georgian, Bangla, Indonesian, Arabic, German, Portuguese, and Hindi. However, the report is not currently available for download.
The 11 key actions outlined in the report focus on fostering inclusive growth, addressing structural challenges, and enhancing collaboration. While the exact wording of these actions is not provided in the search results, they likely include:
- Promoting investment and financing in creative sectors
- Supporting skills development and education
- Enhancing internationalization and trade opportunities for creative businesses
- Fostering innovation and research collaboration within and beyond creative clusters
- Improving data and evidence-based policymaking
- Addressing behavioural and structural barriers to investment
- Supporting regional and local creative clusters with targeted interventions
- Cultivating cross-sector partnerships and alliances globally
- Integrating cultural and creative strategies within broader industrial and economic policies
- Encouraging public and private sector collaboration for sustainable growth
- Embedding inclusiveness, diversity, and equity in sector development strategies
These action themes align with research briefs, government policy inputs, and strategic initiatives discussed by Creative PEC and UK cultural policy sources, which emphasize investment, skills, international trade, innovation, and collaboration as necessary to unlock growth and address challenges in creative industries ([1], [2], [3], [4]).
Unfortunately, the report itself does not attribute the 11 key actions to authors Mike Green and Matthew TenBruggencate, as they are the authors of an image used in the report, not the report itself. For the official verbatim list of the 11 key actions from the Global Agenda document, it would be necessary to access the specific Creative PEC publication or official Global Agenda statement directly. The size of the download for the report is 860.322 KB.
