focused on cultural diversity as a</span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> </span></span><span class="apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">source of renewal for public policies in service to
development, social cohesion and peace.</span></span></span></p>

diversity is addressed in terms of dialogue, dynamics, and the new specific
challenges it may pose for languages, educational systems, news and
entertainment media and the business world.</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-right:4.6pt;margin-bottom:4.6pt;margin-left:4.6pt;line-height:8.75pt;border-color:initial;"><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Based
on the analysis of recent initiatives, concrete examples, case studies and
successful practices, this report advances a number of pathways worth exploring
for renewing development strategies in favour of poverty eradication,
environmental action and sustainable, human-centred governance.</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-right:4.6pt;margin-bottom:4.6pt;margin-left:4.6pt;line-height:8.75pt;"><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">The World Report aims to address the
manifold aspects of cultural diversity, critically review common notions and
assumptions, and propose policy-oriented recommendations on topics as diverse
as identities and dialogue, the future of languages and intercultural education,
media pluralism and cultural industries, the business world, local knowledge,
biodiversity, sustainable development, governance and human rights.</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-right:4.6pt;margin-bottom:4.6pt;margin-left:4.6pt;line-height:8.75pt;border-color:initial;"><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">A
renewed discussion of cultural diversity – the promotion and protection
of which are supported by an array of normative instruments – is timely
in these times of crisis. The impacts of globalization (and increasing
urbanization and migration) are challenging our very understanding of cultures
and identities. In this sense, cultural diversity is a much more complex
phenomenon than it initially appears, as are the relationships between
globalization and cultural diversity. As these are facts with which we must
contend, it is of utmost importance today to create the conditions upon which
cultural diversity can become the means for ensuring dialogue and peaceful
co-existence, and sustainable and fruitful development.</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-right:4.6pt;margin-bottom:4.6pt;margin-left:4.6pt;line-height:8.75pt;border-color:initial;"><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">While
the promotion of cultural diversity has taken on increasing visibility on the
international scene, it often continues to be perceived as a threat to the
cohesion of increasingly diversified societies. Hence, the necessity of
elucidating the conditions upon which cultural diversity can constitute a
positive contribution to realizing the objectives of development and peace.</span></span></p>
