Climate change acts as a “threat multiplier”, undermining all Sustainable Development Goals and having a disproportionate impact on vulnerable communities, including children, women, old adults, and persons with disabilities, given their heightened vulnerability, viz. greater exposure, higher sensitivity and lower ability to adapt and mitigate with respect to physical and mental health, livelihood and decent employment, environmental migration and displacement, cost of living, adequate housing and habitat, sanitation, menstrual hygiene, disasters induced losses and damages, and beyond.
Abhishek Kumar, We need a Disability-led Climate Action, UNICEF - Voices of Youth, 29th November 2023.
The blog covers The Sangyan’s research and advocacy endeavour on the disproportionate impacts of climate change on vulnerable communities, including persons with disabilities, and the ‘Build Forward Better’ Campaign advocating the need for a Disability-led Climate Action.
