                         interdependent and fundamental in ensuring human development. In 
                         this study, we analyzed the environmental injustice issue 
                         relationships of the supply and production of water, energy, and 
                         food in the Sao Paulo Macrometropolis, Brazil. Its 180 
                         municipalities were compared and categorized ~ into losers and 
                         winners based on the urban nexus approach, the proportion of green 
                         infrastructure, and human development. We applied a neural network 
                         self-organizing map to official publicly available data to obtain 
                         clusters of municipalities featuring combinations of 19 
                         indicators. The results showed four clusters with three containing 
                         characteristics of receivers (Capital, Hinterland, and Developed 
                         Receivers) and one of providers, the latter aggregating 
                         municipalities with a strong role in providing water, food, and 
                         subsidies for energy generation. However, the providers also 
                         included the municipalities that had the greatest inequities in 
                         terms of human development and social inclusion. The importance of 
                         evaluating the co-benefits of green-blue infrastructure in urban 
                         spaces can serve as an adaptation strategy to both improve natural 
                         resource management and offer support to different processes and 
                         ecosystem functions. Our study provides a comprehensive 
                         understanding of complex urban systems by considering 
                         environmental justice and nexus synergies.",
