[2009] This report synthesizes the experiences shared by over 150 participants in a virtual consultation on the potential and role of communication applied to issues such as climate change, natural resource management, risk reduction and food security, with a special focus on the Latin American context. The virtual consultation, held in June-July 2008, was organised by the FAO Communication for Sustainable Development Initiative (CSDI), in collaboration with Onda Rural, the World Association of Community Radios for Latin America and the Caribbean (AMARC ALC), the Latin-American Association of Radial Education (ALER), and the Communication for Development Platform of Central America and Mexico.

The discussion highlighted the role of ComDev in strengthening capacities of rural communities and vulnerable people to cope with the adverse effects and challenges derived by climate change.
