Publication Spotlight

How ready are stakeholders to embrace Payments for Ecosystem Services?

Our doctoral researcher, Shanali Fernando, together with Karl-Heinz Feger, Lulu Zhang, and Edeltraud Guenther, investigates this question in their newly published article on stakeholder perspectives from Sri Lanka.

The study explores how different stakeholder groups, including buyers, sellers, and intermediaries, perceive Payments for Ecosystem Services (PES) in Sri Lanka. The findings highlight varying levels of confidence and willingness to engage with PES and underscore the importance of early knowledge sharing, stakeholder engagement, and collaborative approaches to support sustainable resource management.

The research contributes valuable insights into the institutional conditions needed to successfully implement PES schemes in developing country contexts where governance arrangements continue to evolve.

Celebrating Culture, Community and Diversity in Dresden

For the second year now, we were pleased to join thousands of people at Dresden is(s)t bunt, a celebration of the city’s diversity, culture and community.

Through our stall, the UNU Resource Nexus team had the opportunity to engage with members of the Dresden community, introduce them to our work, and share bits of cultures and culinary traditions from different parts of the world.

The afternoon and the evening provided an opportunity for meaningful encounters and conversations, alongside an appreciation of culinary diversity, culture, and hospitality.

Dresden is(s)t bunt is a strong reflection of the diversity that characterises Dresden and the many communities that contribute to the city’s vibrant social fabric.

Restoring Landscapes After Mining: Join Us at COP17

What does effective post-mining landscape restoration look like in practice?

At COP17 in Mongolia, UNU Resource Nexus is bringing together experts and practitioners for a focused workshop on the fundamentals of post-mining land restoration. Participants will explore soil rehabilitation techniques, ecosystem planning and restoration strategies, as well as practical approaches to stakeholder engagement and communication.

The workshop builds on UNU Resource Nexus's experience in this field, following a successful series of events in Europe and Africa.

The session will be moderated by Dr. Alexey Alekseenko and Ms. Yubin Yang, with leading experts in the field contributing to it: Prof. Daniel Karthe, Dr. Gareth Simpson, Prof. Arne Cierjacks, and Prof. Martin Kressner.

25/08/2026

At COP17 in Mongolia, our Deputy Director, Prof. Daniel Karthe, and Head of Research, Dr. Alexey Alekseenko, will take part as panelists in the session “Potential for Enhancing Greenhouse Gas Sequestration Through the Restoration of Mining-Disturbed Land,” where they will deliver the presentation “Resource Nexus Approach to the Restoration of Mining-Disturbed Lands.”

Restoring mining-disturbed landscapes presents a significant opportunity to transform these degraded ecosystems into productive carbon sinks while supporting climate change mitigation, land degradation neutrality, and sustainable development. As countries seek to achieve their climate mitigation and land restoration commitments, there is an increasing need for science-based and innovative approaches that enhance ecosystem recovery while maximizing greenhouse gas sequestration.

They will join other researchers, practitioners, and stakeholders, making this a rich exchange of ideas and insights.

If you're attending COP17, be sure to join this session too.
