Disability inclusion in UK climate action (BOND DDG)

October 19, 2021

This briefing is addressed to the constituent parts of the UK Government (including the FCDO) in the lead up to COP26 and as it starts the year of COP Presidency. At a time critical to climate action, this paper suggests why the UK Government should continue the leadership it has provided for the inclusion of persons with disabilities, and their representative organisations, in its Disability Inclusion Strategy. It was developed by Kara Weekes with support of Mark Barrell and Andy Ware (all of CBM UK), with input from the BOND DDG group, European Disability Forum and other regional and international Organisations of Persons with Disabilities, alongside the membership of CAN-UK.
