Efforts to raise support for the Resolution have been intensive since the beginning of 2023, through close cooperation between the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy.
The negotiation process of the Resolution text itself was led by Indonesia for 6 weeks in October and November 2023 at the UN Headquarters in New York.
The resolution encourages UN member states and various related parties to provide greater support to the development of the creative economy sector, including through (i) strengthening data, (ii) improving research, talent development, education and training, (iii) increasing access to finance, health and social protection, (iv) utilising intellectual property, and (v) utilising digital technology, including artificial intelligence (AI), responsibly.
In addition, the Resolution mandates the UN to regularly discuss creative economy issues, increase capacity building support, facilitate discussions, conduct research, compile guidelines and publications on a regular basis. (WHY)
