Dresden Nexus conferences on “Global Change, Sustainable Development Goals and the Nexus Approach”, 25-27 March 2015
13.03.2015
The Dresden Nexus Conferences 2015 will assemble UN organizations, member states, national and international organizations as well as individual researchers and NGOs from around the world under the theme “Global Change, Sustainable Development Goals and the Nexus Approach”. The conferences will deal with challenges posed by global change, based on the nexus approach to the sustainable management of environmental resources, water, soil and waste.
Global change will put additional pressure on environmental resources and related ecosystem services as well as on the economic development. Taking a nexus approach for environmental resources may help to decrease environmental risks and ecological scarcities. One of the key theme is how adopting this approach may mitigate the growing water, food and energy insecurity due to climate change.
It will be discussed how this approach may help to achieve the potential targets of the post-2015 agenda which pave the way for reducing poverty in a truly sustainable manner.
