DESCRIPTION:\n	(A/RES/71/284)\n\n\n\n	There may be no universal understa
	nding of creativity. The concept is open to interpretation from artistic e
	xpression to problem-solving in the context of economic\, social and susta
	inable development. Therefore\, the United Nations designated 21 April as 
	World Creativity and Innovation Day to raise awareness of the role of crea
	tivity and innovation in all aspects of human development.\n\n\n\n	Creativ
	ity and Culture\n\n	woman with camera\n\n	UNESCO’s International Fund fo
	r Culture and Diversity funds indigenous filmmakers in Brazil.\n\n	The cre
	ative economy too has no single definition. It is an evolving concept whic
	h builds on the interplay between human creativity and ideas and intellect
	ual property\, knowledge and technology. Essentially it is the knowledge-b
	ased economic activities upon which the ‘creative industries’ are base
	d.\n\n\n\n	The creative economy –which includes audiovisual products\, d
	esign\, new media\, performing arts\, publishing and visual arts– is a h
	ighly transformative sector of the world economy in terms of income genera
	tion\, job creation and export earnings. Culture is an essential component
	 of sustainable development and represents a source of identity\, innovati
	on and creativity for the individual and community. At the same time\, cre
	ativity and culture have a significant non-monetary value that contributes
	 to inclusive social development\, to dialogue and understanding between p
	eoples. Today\, the creative industries are among the most dynamic sectors
	 in the world economy providing new opportunities for developing countries
	 to leapfrog into emerging high-growth areas of the world economy.\n\n\n\n
		Economic Growth Strategies\n\n	Cultural and creative industries should be
	 part of economic growth strategies\, according to the 2015 UNESCO report 
	Cultural times: The first global map of cultural and creative industries. 
	These industries are among the most dynamic sectors in the world economy\,
	 generating $2.25 billion in revenue and 29.5 million jobs worldwide. In t
	hat spirit\, countries are harnessing the potential of high-growth areas o
	f the market for economic returns and poverty alleviation.\n\n\n\n	New Mom
	entum\n\n	On #WCID\, the world is invited to embrace the idea that innovat
	ion is essential for harnessing the economic potential of nations. Innovat
	ion\, creativity and mass entrepreneurship can provide new momentum for ec
	onomic growth and job creation. It can expand opportunities for everyone\,
	 including women and youth. It can provide solutions to some of the most p
	ressing problems such as poverty eradication and the elimination of hunger
	.\n\n\n\n	Impacts on the creative industry during the pandemic\n\n	Accordi
	ng to the Report “Re|shaping policies for creativity: addressing culture
	 as a global public good”\, the crisis generated by the pandemic led the
	 Gross Value Added in the cultural and leisure sectors to decrease by US$ 
	750 billion\, and 10 million jobs were lost in 2020. The document shows th
	at the cultural sector has been suffering major impacts since the beginnin
	g of the pandemic\, while support for the development of cultural and leis
	ure projects continues to decline. In several countries\, sector revenues 
	have fallen by between 20% and 40%.\n\n
