People do not have equitable experiences of the world around them. For persons with disabilities and other disadvantaged groups, the accessibility of the built environment, infrastructure and cities is vital to ensure full participation in daily life. The evidence is clear the persons with disabilities are worse impacted by the effects of the climate crisis but this group remains excluded from urban development processes and climate action. As our cities and infrastructure work to adapt and mitigate against climate change, it is vital that accessibility and inclusion are not forgotten, as we cannot have a resilient and sustainable future without inclusion. However, some organizations are working to bridge this gap, developing tools and resources to drive inclusion and accessibility in infrastructure, cities and built environment, with the context of a low-carbon and resilient future. This event will bring together some of these stakeholders to share what’s being done and what’s next, setting out priority actions for disability inclusive climate change infrastructure.
