Towards COP26: Enhancing Disability Inclusion in Climate Action

Released at COP-26 in Glasgow, this paper explains why a disability inclusive approach to climate change is needed; highlights the contributions that persons with disabilities and their representative organisations can make to climate action; and suggests key priorities and recommendations for States, donors, the private sector, the civil society and OPDs at national, regional, and international levels to ensure the meaningful inclusion and participation of persons with disabilities in climate action.

Developed jointly by DICARP and organisations of persons with disabilities from around the world, the paper was reviewed by the Disability Inclusive Climate Action Working Group established under Global Action on Disability (GLAD Network) and endorsed by the International Disability Alliance (IDA).
