Show & Tell: Your Sustainability Stories until 23 May 2021

Posted on by

Deadline: 23 May 2021. The term “nexus” in Latin describes the act of tying together or something which binds. The Resource Nexus looks at the synergies and tradeoffs between the managing of different environmental resources to achieve a net positive outcome. When discussing the Resource Nexus for sustainable development, we are keen to see how such a concept would benefit different areas from agriculture to the preservation of biodiversity.
Tying in with the International Year of Creative Economy for Sustainable Development 2021 as declared by the UN General Assembly, UNU-FLORES and the Technische Sammlungen Dresden invite professional and amateur photographers and videographers to submit their best shots in advocacy of the Resource Nexus and sustainability. Photographers and videographers of all levels are welcomed to submit photos and videos accompanied by their respective stories/descriptions (up to 400 words) that relate to the Resource Nexus and one or more of the following themes:
• Agriculture
• Forests
• Circular Economy
• Climate Change
• Biodiversity

That do one or both of the following:
• Showcase the impact of any of the above on the Resource Nexus or vice versa.
• Showcase positive action for sustainable development.

Winning entries will be showcased in a physical exhibition at the Technische Sammlungen Dresden and a digital gallery and will also be used in UNU-FLORES publications.
