Havana (Prensa Latina):
Cuba can significantly contribute to the fight against the causes that give rise to climate change, something possible to achieve on this island thanks to the high levels of education in the nation, among other factors.
The regional Director for the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), Gretel Aguilar, stressed this small Caribbean island has a lot to say when it comes to reducing vulnerability in order to treat the increase of global temperatures.
Scientific data on the disasters and changes expected to happen in ecosystems show that Cuba can offer important scientific information, Aguilar told Prensa Latina.
This is possible because Cuba has seriously invested in education, which means a big step that contributes to taking rapid and concrete actions.
Education should be a priority matter in any country of the world, she said on the eve of seventh International Convention of Environment and Development.
