The event explored the intersection of heritage, art, and eco-responsibility, recognizing these as valuable aspects of human culture that connect generations and shape environments. It discussed how ancient societies lived in harmony with nature, offering lessons for modern urban planners and architects focused on sustainable city-building. While the art world celebrates creativity, it also raises concerns about its environmental impact, particularly through the transportation of artworks and the networks involved. The event aimed to address how to maintain the sustainability of beauty and livable spaces in a post-industrial world, and the role of art in driving positive climate action. The discussions also examined the commitment of cultural and art institutions, as well as artists and collectors, to eco-responsibility and the sustainable solutions they are implementing. COP28, held in the UAE during the Year of Sustainability, was seen as an ideal platform to highlight these issues and pass on the commitment to future generations.
