Climate justice and how it is affecting people with disabilities in Europe and in the world

Event
EESC building, Rue Belliard 99, 1040
Brussels
Belgium

The EESC is organising a public hearing on "Climate justice and how it is affecting people with disabilities in Europe and in the world" on 19 October 2022.

Climate justice is a concept that addresses the just division, fair sharing, and equitable distribution of the benefits and burdens of climate change and responsibilities to deal with it.

People with disabilities, especially those living in low income countries, are among those most impacted by climate change. In addition, their human rights are most at risk of violation by inappropriate climate action. To avoid this, their meaningful participation in climate policy forums for the development of climate adaptation and mitigation plans is needed.

The aim of the event is to identify necessary steps to reach disability inclusive climate justice.
