She reflects upon the former discussion on the three pillars of sustainability and the new discourse on the four pillars. Based on a holistic concept of culture, she emphasizes how this relatively new paradigm has enriched not only the scientific discourse but also the discourses within the UN organs and agencies since Brundtland. Culture understood as driving force of human development is reflected within the Millennium Development Goals and its related social, economic and environmental strategies. The papers brings together what normally is discussed separately, namely, the function of culture within the tangible and intangible understanding of heritage.
