Heatwaves in Andalucia.
Floods in Belgium.
Climate change is life threatening to persons with disabilities.
Our new briefing reveals the human cost of inaccessible responses, and how climate legislations can be inclusive.
Read 'Disaster by Design': www.edf-feph.org/publications...
People with disabilities and their organisations are still largely shut off from the climate conversation.
Ahead of #COP30, we explored how climate organisations and disability advocates can work together.

Today, we launched an updated version of our toolkit on the #ArtificialIntelligence Act.
It explores how new guidelines can support disability rights:
- Prohibited #AI
- Definition of AI systems
- AI Code of Practice
Explore the toolkit: www.edf-feph.org/publications...
What happens to disability rights in a backsliding democracy?
We can learn from countries who have been down that path already.

Europe is ready to make the quantum leap. Are you?
