For cultural and heritage institutions around the world, sustainability is the major challenge of the 21st century. This work analyses this critical issue. The author argues that programmatic commitments to sustainability arose both from direct environmental threats to tangible and intangible heritage, and from social and economic contradictions as heritage developed into a truly global organizational field.
