\"Remote<\/p>\n

\u201cDuring the rainy season, we get stuck in the village because the wheelchairs cannot\u00a0move in the mud and our roads are really bad. We mostly now depend on the\u00a0goodwill of people to get things done, like getting supplies from the shop.\u201d \u2013 quote\u00a0from field research<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Have you considered how climate change disproportionately affects persons with disabilities? Stigmatization, poverty, and systemic exclusion from climate\u00a0adaptation and support\u00a0mechanisms mean that climate justice for this population is often overlooked and remains under-researched.<\/p>\n

Along with Disabled People\u2019s Organisations Denmark (DPOD), Mission East commissioned a pilot study in Nepal, Uganda, Kenya, and Afghanistan. Summary conclusions from the survey \u201cInclusive Climate Solutions: Lessons for Disability-Inclusive Climate Programming and Advocacy in Fragile Contexts\u201d are available now on our website.<\/p>\n

\u201cStructure exclusion was noticed in all four countries where we conducted interviews. Persons with disabilities face physical, social, and economic barriers that make them more vulnerable and must be taken into account in climate resilience action. There is no \u2018one size fits all\u2019 solution,\u201d says Betina Gollander-Jensen, Secretary-General of Mission East. \u201cAnd maybe the foremost important finding \u2013 namely to include and have that direct interaction with the persons with disabilities, which is key in breaking down prejudices and creating meaningful and effective engagements.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
