Our paper on the GLocal dataset has been published in Scientific Data (Nature Portfolio). GLocal aggregates several satellite imagery-derived datasets and other complex data sources to administrative boundaries, making it easier than ever to work with these datasets. GLocal provides socio-economic, demographic, and ecological variables at three levels of administrative boundaries from GADM (equivalent to country, state, and county levels in the US) at annual, monthly, or cross-sectional time periods.

I am deeply grateful to Isabela Echeverry Peñón, Rafael Labrador and the Inter-American Development Bank and IDB Lab team in the Colombia office for hosting me as a speaker to talk about our diagnostic on Growth Opportunities in the Colombian Amazon that I worked on with my colleagues at Harvard's Growth Lab, under the leadership of Professor Ricardo Hausmann and with my colleagues Tim Cheston, Patricio Goldstein, Tim Freeman, Shreyas G., Sebastian Bustos, Eduardo Lora, Nidhi Rao and Thảo Nguyên Bùi. The event provided a fantastic platform to share ideas with local officials, technicians, investors and pioneers to explore innovative strategies for sustainable development in this vital region. The dedication and commitment to sustainable growth and development that addresses the needs of the region is truly inspiring. I thank the attendees for sharing their experience and knowhow about the region. I learned about the opportunities and challenges they have faced, and how research inputs can be strengthened or concretized. In the talk we discussed the fundamental role of Amazonian cities in driving economic development without deforestation in the Amazon. Agglomeration concentrates sectors of higher productivity and facilitates the provision of services and public goods, relieving pressure on the agricultural frontier and the rainforest. In addition, these are the areas with the majority of the Amazonian population. Balancing urban development with sustainable practices is key to achieving long-term prosperity in the Colombian Amazon and relieving pressure on the frontier. Thank you for your warm hospitality and for facilitating such a meaningful dialogue. I look forward to the continued collaboration and initiatives that will emerge from the event.
