Andes

regional Network
Region: Americas

SDSN Andes mobilizes local knowledge to advance viable solutions to sustainable development challenges in the Andean region. The network, hosted by Beyond One Foundation, and established in 2014, includes the following countries: Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela. Key focus areas include: devising and implementing value chain solutions for sustainable and resilient agri-food systems; biodiversity conservation in the Mira-Mataje River Basins (Colombia-Ecuador); and data collection and management to monitor progress on SDG implementation.

Conservation Project Leads to Scientific Publication of Biodiversity Findings

SDSN Andes coordinates a conservation project (SDG15) developed by SDSN-member organizations in the binational Mira and Mataje river basins. Ecuador's National Institute of Biodiversity has prominently documented the region’s rich biodiversity. A database will soon be published in Scientific Data (Nature journal).

Network Leadership Chairs Sessions at International Fora

SDSN Andes leadership chaired sessions on the SDGs at several international events, including the European Geosciences Union (EGU) General Assembly in Austria and the 10th and 11th International Conference on Sustainable Development (ICSD) in New York.
