BACKGROUND: People with disabilities have been severely underrepresented in the climate conversation and yet are more likely to suffer from climate induced issues. It is our goal to empower CCL and the greater public to speak up and spread awareness of the impact of climate change on disability communities.

NOTE: The term “disability” covers a wide range of conditions that limit a person’s ability to do certain activities. There are many types of disabilities, including those that affect vision, hearing, speech, cognition, and mobility.
