The episode focuses on work to ensure that disabled people are included in actions to reduce the impact of climate change and nature loss. It includes discussions with Dr Sarah Bell from the University of Exeter who is leading on the 5-year Sensing Climate project that explores how disabled people can be included in decision making around climate change action. Dr Emma Geen talks about the work she leads on in Bristol to ensure that disabled people are being considered and included in action to reduce the impact of climate change including the Climate Action Plan that she co-produced with disabled people. We also hear from Beth Richards who is passionate about making the environmental sector more accessible, particularly around accessible language.
The priorities and lived experience of disabled people is often missing from conversations around climate change and nature loss. As disabled people are one of the groups most at risk from the impact of climate crisis. It’s important that are able to take part in decisions to address the impacts of climate crisis and nature loss in a way that is accessible and inclusive.
