Iniciativa de Comunicación para el Desarrollo Sostenible - ICDS Comunicación para la Innovación y el Desarrollo Rural en el ANMI-PNA del Municipio Yapacaní.
Les mesures environnementales pour le développement durable liées à l’adaptation au changement climatique, à la gestion des bassins versants, à la gestion des risques de catastrophes, au développement territorial participatif, etc., nécessitent la mise en place de processus, d’outils et de méthodes de communication pour la sensibilisation, le partage des connaissances et la participation communautaire.
Communication is a key to promoting sustainable development. Communication for Development or ComDev, an approach applied by FAO that combines a variety of participatory communication processes and tools, ranging from rural radio to the Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), is central to this task.
The publication takes you on a journey to explore the practical linkages between climate change, access to and sharing of information and knowledge, communication for development and ICTs in general. More specifically, it considers how everyday information and communication tools such as radios, mobile phones, personal computers, the internet and interactive media can help reduce the risks of climate change faced by the most vulnerable segments of the global village through providing access to and the sharing of timely information and critical knowledge.
