Abstract(s)
Sustainable development comprehends the balance between human activities and the environment.
Today, more than ever, the need to act with respect for the environment and the urgency in recognizing that we
belong to the planet, and not the other way around, have accelerated and generalized the demand for
information about environmental sustainability, economic and social concerns, and the discussion about which
Humanity should adopt paths to save the species.
The United Nations 2030 Agenda recognizes access to information as a critical goal in the Sustainable
Development Goal of promoting peaceful and inclusive societies, access to justice for all, and building
effective, accountable, and inclusive institutions at all levels. In a global and inclusive society, people's access
to information and the need to protect fundamental freedoms is necessarily the founding principle of the path to
achieving global sustainability.
The understanding of the world and society has always been founded on the study of the past, the knowledge of
history, traditions, and memory. Only knowledge of memory allows us to know where we come from and to
determine where we are going. Memory, which is nothing more than informational heritage, a generator agent
of value and distinctive identity, is essential to create, distinguishing, and enriching socioeconomic activities
based on the realities of the environment and local cultures towards socioeconomic and environmental
sustainability and inclusion.
In this paper, we intend to highlight the crucial role of information professionals in sustainable development, as
they play unique and privileged roles in the preservation of people's identity and culture, as well as in the
collection, research, processing, protection, promotion, enhancement, and transmission of information, which
guarantee the viability of Humanity's cultural heritage and access to information as one of the goals of
sustainable development.
