Carmen Ponce joined a workshop that sought to better understand the current interdisciplinary ‘data landscape’ across the Andes region. Our Associated Researcher focused on sub-national socio-economic and demographic datasets that are available online, highlighting issues of data comparability. It was suggested that a lack of systematic data hinders understanding governance at local and regional levels. In the Andes, socio-environmental researchers need more information about internal migration and urban-rural linkages between mountains and lowlands.
The discussion was jointly convened by GEO Mountains, Mountain Research Initiative and CONDESAN.
