United Nations University (UNU) Hub on Remote-Sensing and Sustainable Innovations for Resilient Urban Systems (R-SIRUS) at The City College of New York was announced at a partnership agreement signing ceremony by President Vincent Boudreau and Tshilidzi Marwala, the rector of UNU and under-secretary-general of the United Nations.  This Hub, in collaboration with the United Nations University Institute for Water, Environment and Health (UNU-INWEH), will connect CCNY to UNU’s global research and educational initiatives. Its goal is to contribute to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), foster international relations, and promote the development of sustainable cities. The UNU Hub, the first of its kind in the U.S. and globally, focuses on remote sensing and sustainability challenges in urban systems. It aims to improve cities’ adaptability to climate challenges, promoting inclusivity and resilience. Leveraging the university’s legacy in science and urban innovation, this Hub will serve as a model for sustainable urban development worldwide. The UNU Hub will convene interdisciplinary experts to develop solutions that address the impacts of extreme weather, urban water and energy requirements, and social inequalities affecting urban communities.
