Disability and Climate Change: Publications and Resources
Summary: The Climate Change Impact on Disability and Health database at Disabled World (DW) encompasses a range of publications that explore how environmental changes uniquely affect people with disabilities and seniors. Topics include the increased vulnerability of individuals with mobility impairments during extreme weather events, challenges in accessing emergency services and healthcare amid natural disasters, the exacerbation of chronic health conditions due to climate-induced factors, and the necessity of inclusive policies in climate adaptation strategies. These insightful resources shed light on overlooked issues, offer practical solutions, and assist those affected by providing knowledge that can lead to better preparedness and advocacy. By addressing specific challenges faced by these communities, the database serves as a crucial tool for fostering resilience and ensuring that climate responses are inclusive and effective.
