The Dresden Nexus Conference (DNC) 2025 is just around the corner and is set to take place from 8-10 April. This year’s conference embraces a future-oriented theme, titled: 
"The Future of Resource, Resources for the Future." 

DNC 2025 – The Future Nexus aligns closely with the United Nations’ efforts to develop a post-2030 sustainable development agenda, an initiative spearheaded by the Summit of the Future (2024) and the Pact for the Future. The conference will bring together global experts to explore how resource management can shape a more resilient and sustainable world. 

DNC 2025 is expected to attract a diverse international audience, with: 

• Representatives from over 75 countries 
• 40 expert-led sessions 
• 150 distinguished presenters 

This level of participation underscores DNC’s role as a key platform for knowledge exchange, policy discussions, and collaborative action on sustainability. 

A Unique Convergence  

This year, the Dresden Nexus Conference will be held alongside two other major international gatherings: 

• The GlobalABC Annual Assembly 
  • Founded at COP21, the Global Alliance for Buildings and Construction (GlobalABC) is hosted by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and comprises over 330 members, including 42 countries. 
  • As the leading global platform for sustainable buildings and construction, GlobalABC is committed to advancing a zero-emission, energy-efficient, and climate-resilient built environment. 
• The Dresden International Forum 
  • Co-organized by DNC 2025, this year’s forum will take place under the theme: 
    "From Conflicts to Cooperation: The Resource Nexus as a Pathway to Peace and Prosperity in Africa." 
  • The forum will feature high-level panel discussions with influential speakers, including Prof. Tshilidzi Marwala, Rector of the United Nations University and UN Under-Secretary-General.
