Goal of the study

This study will identify and address barriers experienced by people with disabilities in preparing for, responding to, and recovering from climate emergencies. People with disabilities often face additional barriers like social isolation and lack of access to disaster services. This puts disability communities at higher risk in climate emergencies. It will explore the different and intersectional needs of disability communities in relation to climate change impacts.
