SDGNexus Atlas
The SDGnexus Network is a global community of universities, research centers, and stakeholders committed to promoting
the Agenda 2030 for sustainable development
The Network, consisting of partners from Colombia, Ecuador, Germany, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan, provides a common research framework related to
the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations (UN)
and aims to analyze synergies and trade-offs among individual SDGs
This SDGNexus Atlas is a (geo)page set up by the Nexus' researchers of the
Unidad de Información Socio Ambiental (UISA) of
Andina Simon Bolivar University of Quito (Ecuador) with the aim to create a collaborative space where network institutions
can share and visualize (geo)data collected or produced during the project, and create maps and geo-stories related to SDGs
This space is meant to be also a "window" for all stakeholders interested to find and visualize the (geo)outcomes of the project
By clicking on the buttons in the first part, you can easily access to geodata, maps, documents and geostories, for the whole project
or filtered by research lines, while below you can find all info collected and produced divided by Country or for a specific project

MIRA-MATAJE Catchment, Ecuador-Colombia (Cuenca del Mira-Mataje)
This space is dedicated to the study conducted by a team of SDGNexus researchers in Mira-Mataje, a tropical transboundary catchment located in north-western Ecuador and south-western Colombia.
We utilize three dimensions to evaluate the ecosystem services of the Mira-Mataje: Firstly, the monetary dimension; secondly, the biophysical relevance, including current pressures and future threats;
and thirdly, the social dimension. We combine globally available economic and remotely sensed datasets with the spatial ecosystem services modeling and mapping tool,
Co$tingNature, and local knowledge and worldviews from community leaders.
Clicking on the below green button you have access to spatial data, maps and documents produced, besides the access to the paper published in Ecosystem services journal.
