Grateful to @GerardH07 of @FCDOGovUK for his contribution to @CBMuk and @cbm_ireland event @COP29_AZ & clear indication UK commitment to disability inclusive approaches being embedded in climate policies, programmes & responses and support for a disability constituency @UNFCCC

Great to be with @cbm_ireland colleague @MahbubKabirCBM as he speaks at @COP29_AZ side event with @CBMuk @CANEurope and @IDA_CRPD_Forum on designing and financing inclusive nationally determined contributions, that seek climate justice for all #DisabilityRights in #ClimateAction

#GlobalActionDay at @COP29_AZ , we call on all civil society organizations, constituencies, and member states to unite in urging the @UNFCCC to reconsider the establishment of a dedicated #DisabilityConstituency. People with disabilities represent a significant and often underrepresented voice in the climate discourse, facing unique challenges and vulnerabilities as we confront the impacts of climate change. It is imperative that we ensure their active participation in decision-making processes, recognizing our insights and experiences as vital to achieving equitable solutions. We need you to stand together to amplify this crucial demand, advocating for an inclusive approach that leaves no one behind in the fight for climate justice. This is the time and we have to act now. @UN @ONUinfo @IDA_CRPD_Forum @iddcconsortium @UNYouthAffairs @RIADISorg @MASE_IT @Y4Cofficial @john_medalen @climate_caj @Connect4Climate @SpecialGN_UN @UNDP @UNDP_RomeCentre @UNDP4Youth @felipepaullier @ItalyMFA @ReadLyte @worldgreendlp @ali_bakdur @Mulunda_JC @KivuyoLaurel @OlumideIDOWU @EmmanuelGanse @enable_rdc @Inklusionsling @Ulkoministerio @fidele_kitsa @Evebazaiba @Minpvh_apvRDC @Racheamani @animuathiei @KofiAnnanFdn
