Moving towards greater representation of persons with disabilities in climate change decision-making

This policy brief discusses the current state of disability representation in the climate negotiations based on observations from the 28th Conference of the Parties to the UNFCCC (COP28) held in 2023. The brief outlines recommendations for the improvement of accessibility and inclusion in future climate dialogues at the local and international levels.

The policy brief is the fourth in a series of five policy briefs published by Project SIGND, and it was written and prepared by Isabella Ann Mendoza, Angelika Lourdes Pizarro, Keith Sigfred Ancheta, and Cecilie Therese Guiao of Parabukas, and Rommel Lo of Deaf, Inc., with the guidance of other members of Project SIGND’s Work Programme 2.
