To achieve this ambitious goal we implemented a communications strategy that saw support from Climate Action Network (NIAC) and the coordinated work of the vast majority of members CANLA, communications equipment and steering group.

Weeks of preparation and virtual meetings served to organize work and identify who would be the official spokesperson CANLA, for this process, choosing Uruguayan Mario Caffera climatologist, who was instrumental in the interpretation of scientific information contained in this report, data translation and review of official communications issued from CANLA to the community.
