Climate change is a global challenge that requires collective action from diverse communities, technical teams, journalists, as well as environmental program, policy and design professionals. However, many global climate initiatives are not accessible to persons with disabilities, leading to exclusion and marginalization. The Victor Pineda Foundation / World Enabled and their partners are pleased to host a webinar on practical approaches to accessibility in climate community gatherings and programs. The purpose of this webinar is to provide environmental practitioners, journalists and the wider community of sustainability professionals with knowledge and resources to make their climate advocacy initiatives more inclusive and accessible to persons with disabilities.

The webinar will take place on the sidelines of the United Nations Conference of States Parties to the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.

Who Should Attend

The focal audience for this webinar is climate journalists, professionals, and advocates, including community organizers, team leaders, and program managers. Participants should have a basic understanding of climate change and disability but are open to learning more about accessibility in climate advocacy.

  2. Highlight practical examples of how climate advocates can be more inclusive of persons with disabilities
  3. Discuss the role of effective communication in promoting accessibility in climate advocacy
  4. Equip professionals with knowledge and resources to make their climate and environmental initiatives more accessible to persons with disabilities.
