Building on the longstanding work of the UCLG Committee on Culture and UNESCO's Universal Declaration on Cultural Diversity (2001) and Convention on the Diversity of Cultural Expressions (2005), the Executive Bureau of United Cities and Local Governments agreed at its meeting in Chicago (April 2010) to mandate the Committee on Culture to develop a Policy Statement on Culture as the Fourth Pillar of Sustainable Development.
The first draft of the Policy Statement was circulated to the members of the Executive Bureau and to the UCLG members active in the field of culture. The final draft of the Policy Statement contained the comments received.
The Executive Bureau of UCLG, approved the Policy Statement on 17 November 2010, in the framework of the World Summit of Local and Regional Leaders - 3rd World Congress of UCLG, held in Mexico DF.
