Professor Chrysi Laspidou, Action Chair of CA20138 and Dr. Floor Brouwer, Action Vice Chair of CA20138, were the Conveners of Session 16 “The Resource Nexus for New Modes of Science-Policy Interaction” of the Dresden Nexus Conference 2022 “Biodiversity Stewardship for Vital Resources” (DNC2022), an online conference that took place from Monday 23^rd May to Wednesday 25^th May. The DNC2022 focused on strengthening biodiversity with other challenges in society (e.g., climate change, urban and regional development, agri-food and forest systems and circular economy). The Dresden Nexus Conference (DNC) is dedicated to advancing the Resource Nexus to enable the sustainability of environmental resources. Co-organised by United Nations University – Institute for Integrated Management of Material Fluxes and of Resources (UNU-FLORES), the Leibniz Institute of Ecological Urban and Regional Development (IOER), and the Technische Universität Dresden (TU Dresden), the conference provides a platform for inter- and trans-disciplinary exchange on the Resource Nexus. By bringing together actors from a diverse range of disciplines and sectors, DNC fosters dialogue on how nexus thinking contributes to achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and a deep transformation towards Strong Sustainability in its ecological, economic, and social dimensions. The conference programme aimed to explore research and practical examples of sustainable resource management in communities around the world and how these management strategies support the achievement of the SDGs.
