Global Communications Commitment for a Healthier World
Spreads throughout Latin America
7 March 2024 ─ INTERDECOM is pleased to announce the strong response of the Latin American communications organisations to the International Declaration of Communications Professionals and Researchers for a Healthier, Viable, Better World. Up to now, forty-four (44) organisations have committed to use their communications role and expertise for a healthier future, both protective of nature and of our humanity. Among them: research chairs, observatories, information platforms, intervention groups and numerous consulting firms, established in Mexico, Brazil, Ecuador, Chile, Argentina, and Uruguay. This global communications commitment also brings together larger organisations such as national associations as well as continental networks that extend their reach throughout Latin America. “The declaration's call for unity was heard and followed very early on by several Latin American communications organisations that is still very much alive across the region today”, states Solange Tremblay, INTERDECOM’s president.
Since its launch in the first days of 2021, the Declaration has been endorsed by more than 150 organisations in over 45 countries worldwide, including 19 major global organisations.
