The 2025 Mondiacult conference in Barcelona gathered thousands, including over 150 culture ministers, to discuss global cultural policies and sustainable development. Notably absent were Israel and the USA due to Trump's withdrawal from UNESCO. The forum concluded with a declaration focusing on cultural rights and integrating culture into the UN's post-2030 agenda. Spain pledged €200,000 for Gaza's reconstruction and emphasized the importance of culture in peacebuilding and social justice. The next Mondiacult will be in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
