This fourth edition of the Tracker includes three articles which foreground different aspects of sustainability for the creative and cultural sectors. In the first, it is considered ‘How Culture Contributes to Health and Well-being: Findings from the CultureForHealth EU Preparatory Action’.  ‘Research on Mobility and Culture’ examines the impact of the pandemic on three groups of actors: artists and cultural professionals, hosts providing mobility opportunities, and funders who set the conditions for mobility. Finally, John Ellingsworth’s ‘Exploring Recent Trends in Environmental Sustainability and Cultural Mobility’, a discussion of On The Move’s second edition of the Cultural Mobility Yearbook (March 2023), reflects on the importance of the ‘green transition’ being reflected in practices as well as in visibility.

This third issue focuses on the UNESCO MONDIACULT conference that was held in Mexico in September 2022 and it includes a Policy paper Implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development - The Implications for the Cultural Management and Policy Sector.

This second issue is focused on sustainability, and gathers four different articles on topics of sustainable cultural management practice,  policy developments regarding culture and sustainability in Europe,  culture and sustainability from the perspective of cultural observatories and the academia, and the contribution of the cultural and creative sectors to the great global challenge of sustainability and the climate emergency.

In this first issue, a total of five articles are presented. The first two focus on the creative workers and their working conditions, and advocate for the need to put this issue at the center of policy making.  The third article focuses “On the policy potential of intermediary cultural spaces around Covid-19 times”. The last two articles are grouped in the section “Focus: Singapore”, and approach the cultural reality of the Asian country.
