Globally, more than 1 billion people with disabilities are disproportionately and differentially at risk from the climate crisis. Yet there is a notable absence of climate policy, programming, and research at the intersection of disability and climate change. Advancing climate justice urgently requires accelerated disability-inclusive climate action. We present pivotal research recommendations and guidance to advance disability-inclusive climate research and responses identified by a global interdisciplinary group of experts in disability, climate change, sustainable development, public health, environmental justice, humanitarianism, gender, Indigeneity, mental health, law, and planetary health. Climate-resilient development is a framework for enabling universal sustainable development. Advancing inclusive climate-resilient development requires a disability human rights approach that deepens understanding of how societal choices and actions-characterised by meaningful participation, inclusion, knowledge diversity in decision making, and co-design by and with people with disabilities and their representative organisations-build collective climate resilience benefiting disability communities and society at large while advancing planetary health.
在全球范围内,超过 10 亿残疾人面临不成比例且有差异的气候危机风险。然而,在残疾与气候变化的交叉领域,缺乏气候政策、规划和研究。推进气候正义迫切需要加速包容残疾人的气候行动。我们提出了重要的研究建议和指导,以推进由残疾、气候变化、可持续发展、公共卫生、环境正义、人道主义、性别、原住民、心理健康、法律和行星健康领域的全球跨学科专家组确定的包容残疾人的气候研究和应对。气候适应型发展是实现普遍可持续发展的框架。推进包容残疾人的气候适应型发展需要采取残疾人权利方法,加深对社会选择和行动的理解,这些选择和行动的特点是有意义的参与、包容、决策中的知识多样性,以及残疾人及其代表组织的共同设计,从而建立集体气候适应能力,使残疾人群体和整个社会受益,同时推进行星健康。
