The State-Plan for confronting climate change, "Life-Task”, is inspired by the thinking of the Historical Leader of the Cuban Revolution, Fidel Castro Ruz; who -in his speech at the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro- stated:

"An important biological species is at risk of disappearing, due to the rapid and progressive liquidation of its natural living conditions: man."

Climate change:

Climate change is attributed directly or indirectly to human activity; which alters the composition of the global atmosphere, and adds to the natural variability of the climate; observed during comparable periods of time (at least 30 years).

The fundamental strategies in tackling climate change are mitigation and adaptation.

Adaptation:

It includes studies and solutions to reduce vulnerability, as far as possible, generally in the impacts of climate change. In human systems, actions try to moderate damage or take advantage of beneficial opportunities. In some natural systems, human intervention can facilitate adjustment to the projected climate and its effects.
