What can we learn from flash floods?

In a recent article for Nutshell Today, UNU Resource Nexus doctoral researchers Vaibhav Aggarwal, Shashwat Sharma, and Alavy Kifait Reza reflect on the devastating flood disaster in Nepal and its implications for how societies plan, build and live alongside rivers. They highlight that while early warning systems and monitoring remain essential, protecting floodplains and working with natural water systems are equally critical for reducing future risks.

UNU Resource Nexus has joined the Global Alliance for Responsible and Green Minerals (GAM), led by UNIDO

The Alliance brings together governments, industry, labour unions, financial institutions, academia, civil society and affected communities to build fair, sustainable and inclusive mineral supply chains, from extraction to recycling.

As a member, we will contribute our research, capacity building and policy impact in two of our focus areas:

Transformed Landscapes: managing mining-driven landscape change sustainably by integrating environmental, social and economic considerations.

Responsible Electronics: advancing responsible material sourcing across the electronics value chain, from design to end of life.

Guided by the Resource Nexus approach, we look forward to working with UNIDO and fellow members to make the growing demand for critical minerals deliver lasting benefits for people, local economies and the environment.

Now Open: Dresden Nexus Conference 2027 Call for Abstracts and Session Proposals
Since 2015, the Dresden Nexus Conference has been the leading international platform for the Resource Nexus approach, bringing together researchers, policymakers, practitioners, UN agencies and civil society.

After ten years in Dresden, DNC now leaves Germany for the first time: DNC 2027 convenes in Barcelona for a Mediterranean Edition to link the conference's focus on integrated management of environmental resources to the host region's environment that is characterized by water-scarcity, and the question of managing the land–sea continuum that is of particular relevance to coastal regions such as those of the Mediterranean.

The Call for Abstracts and Session Proposals on 15 October and closes on 15 November 2026.
Researchers, policymakers and practitioners: share your insights, perspectives and practical experience as we shape the DNC 2027 agenda, and help us reach a broader community by sharing this call with colleagues and partners working on Nexus-related challenges.

How do we understand and respond to displacement in a changing climate and digital world?

On 15 October, Prof.Dr. Melissa Siegel (UNU-MERIT), Robert Oakes (United Nations University - Institute for Environment and Human Security (UNU-EHS) and Bushra Ebadi (United Nations University-EGOV) brought together three perspectives on this question.

The session moves from understanding the evidence on climate-related migration to modeling future mobility and examining how digital infrastructures can contribute to displacement. Together they ask what this evidence means for policy and practice.

15 October | 14:00–16:00 CET | Online

Countdown to UN Day: Rethinking Mobility

As we count down to this year's Dresden-based UN Day, themed "Rethinking Mobility," Dr. Luisa Ferolla Spyer Prates, who recently completed her PhD at UNU Resource Nexus, shares insights from research that closely relates to this year's theme.

Her research used the Resource Nexus approach to explore the links between transport, resource management, and environmental sustainability, helping us better understand the opportunities and challenges of the transition to electric mobility.

Watch this short video to hear some of her key reflections

2026 Leadership Dialogue: Handling Ethical Dilemmas

As part of the annual UN-wide Leadership Dialogue, colleagues at UNU Resource Nexus engaged in reflective exercises and discussions that challenged us to think critically about ethical dilemmas and the values that guide our decisions. The session was convened and facilitated by our director, Prof. Daniel Karthe.

The session, themed "The Moral Compass Inside Us: Handling Ethical Dilemmas," provided a valuable opportunity to exchange perspectives, learn from one another, and reflect on how ethical leadership is practiced in our everyday work. Colleagues brought forward experiences and scenarios for discussion, sparking thoughtful conversations in small groups and lively exchanges during the plenary session.

The annual Leadership Dialogue creates space for honest conversations, collective learning, and stronger teams. Building on last year's dialogue, "Demonstrating UN Values Through Our Behaviours," this year's discussion reinforced the importance of applying UN values when navigating complex decisions, balancing competing priorities, and addressing challenges in our daily work.
