Climate Resilience and Sustainability Center Established in Dresden
The Technical University of Dresden (TUD) and the United Nations University (UNU) have announced the founding of a new center, the UNU-Hub Climate Resilience and Sustainable Technology (CREST). The announcement was made at the Dresden Nexus Conference 2025, a forum for sustainable research networking.
The conference, which took place in Dresden from April 8 to 10, 2025, brought together participants from over 75 countries. It was a significant event for the promotion of sustainable research, focusing on discussing innovative concepts for sustainable resource use.
Prof. Ursula Staudinger, the Rector of TUD, expressed her pleasure at taking this important step. She stated that the challenges of human-induced climate change and the increasing scarcity of natural resources, especially water, require global solutions based on valid research and decisive action.
The CREST project builds on years of close cooperation between TUD and UNU-FLORES. The new hub will serve as a hub for interdisciplinary exchange between various disciplines, institutions, and continents. It will promote innovative learning programs for resource efficiency and climate protection in an international context.
Interdisciplinary research at CREST will focus on promoting climate-resistant infrastructures, adaptive water management, and circular technologies. The solutions developed at CREST have the potential to significantly improve the lives of people worldwide.
Prof. Jürgen Stamm and Dr. André Lindner will lead the development of forward-looking solutions at CREST. Prof. Stamm is a scholar with work in legal philosophy and related fields, but there is no indication in the provided search results that he has a role related to the new UNU-Hub Climate Resilience and Sustainable Technology.
The UNU hub will further strengthen international cooperation to develop solutions for climate change and resource scarcity. CREST will actively cooperate with political decision-makers, companies, and communities to bridge the gap between science and practice. Future engineers and political decision-makers will be trained at CREST for addressing climate change challenges.
In celebrating its 50th anniversary, the United Nations University has reaffirmed its commitment to expanding partnerships and deepening cooperation. The partnership with TUD is a testament to this commitment, and the creation of CREST is a step towards a more sustainable future. The Dresden Nexus Conference 2025, with its focus on networking sustainable research, provided the perfect platform for this announcement.
The Dresden Nexus Conference 2025 was a unique platform for networking sustainable research. It was a platform where scholars, policymakers, and industry leaders came together to discuss and develop innovative concepts for sustainable resource use. The conference was a significant step towards promoting sustainable research and development on a global scale.
The creation of CREST is a significant step towards addressing the challenges of climate change and resource scarcity. It is a testament to the power of collaboration and the commitment to a sustainable future. As we move forward, it is hoped that CREST will serve as a model for other collaborations aimed at addressing these global challenges.
