The UNU Hub on Remote Sensing and Sustainable Innovations for Resilient Urban Systems (R-SIRUS), based at The City College of New York, serves as a center for interdisciplinary research, education, and policy engagement focused on sustainability and urban resilience. R-SIRUS addresses challenges related to climate, water, environmental systems, public health, sustainable energy, and resilient urban development.

Through the integration of geospatial analytics, remote sensing technologies, sustainability frameworks, and policy analysis, R-SIRUS equips future leaders with the tools needed to address complex urban and environmental challenges. In partnership with United Nations University Institute for Water, Environment and Health, R-SIRUS links research and training with practical needs in policy, capacity building, and sustainable development.
