MEET THE TEAM
Committed Against Climate Change
Ángel Cano
Director of communication
Climate Reality Spain and Responsible for Asociación Despierta
I am an expert in corporate communication and CSR. I apply my professional experience to help increase the knowledge of society in the fight against the climatic challenges that we face. And I do so by leading two initiatives: as director of communication of Climate Reality, the organization of Al Gore in Spain, and as responsible for Asociación Cultural Despierta, an organization that organizes festivals and business events where sustainability experts and award-winning documentaries share the best solutions to accelerate a global change that allows us to stop climate change and environmental degradation. I believe that only an informed society is capable of making the necessary changes and I work to accelerate that change by raising the level of social awareness.
Only an informed society is capable of activating itself and giving the answer needed by the environmental crisis.Ángel Cano - Climate Reality Spain and Asociación Despierta
Positive awareness is very effective but without forgetting the dimension of the problem.Ángel Cano - Climate Reality Spain and Asociación Despierta
Fear can paralyze but accompanied by solutions has proven to address the change.Ángel Cano - Climate Reality Spain and Asociación Despierta
We live in the age of entertainment, which means that we do not pay attention to what is important, that is why it is so necessary to inform about risks and solutions.Ángel Cano - Climate Reality Spain and Asociación Despierta
Our realistic goal is to minimize the most destructive consequences of global warming, the least destructive ones we are already suffering.Ángel Cano - Climate Reality Spain and Asociación Despierta
The road has to go through involving the social mass, companies and governments already know the problem and make great efforts but there are big vested interests and misunderstood ideology that interfere and hinder the urgent need to have an informed social mass that remembers in the same direction. When we are all convinced (less that their salary depends on their not being), we can create a society free of emissions, we have talent, technology and money, just lack will.Ángel Cano - Climate Reality Spain and Asociación Despierta
