Esta Guía del Facilitador está dirigida a promotores, técnicos y extensionistas que realizan tareas de asistencia técnica y capacitación campesina. Su objetivo es orientar la conducción del curso audiovisual de la serie Ganadería Lechera, destinado a capacitar a pequeños productores en “Establecimiento y Manejo de Pasturas para Ganado Tipo Lechero” para que, a través del cultivo de pastos, tengan alimentos durante todo el año destinado a su hato lechero.

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.

This guidebook is intended to support educators in developing their understanding of the science of climate change, observed and anticipated impacts, and different possible responses. The guidebook also covers the impacts on society, as well as political and educational responses to climate change.
