About the SDG nexus Network
The SDGnexus 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 and aims to analyze synergies and trade-offs among individual SDGs (SDG-Nexus-analysis). Following a successful first phase from 2020-2024, the SDGnexus Network will intensify its activities in a second phase 2025-2029. Your research concentrates on examining the relationships between individual SDGs, with a particular emphasis on land use and water. For this purpose, SDGnexus Network Research Groups are established at all partners, which thematically cooperate closely. A particular focus lays on promoting and connecting the next generation of scientists in the project regions. Further information about the network can be found at www.sdgnexus.net
