Summary

We will research disability-inclusive climate resilient cities to produce case studies of good practice, working with partners including the Asian Development Bank. This body of work will support cities to ensure they embed inclusion as they address the impacts of climate change through both mitigation and adaptation. We can measure this by uptake of our findings and influence on the sector, in particular the breaking of silos between climate (sustainability) and inclusion.
