🌱🌏  This resource provides a summary of disability inclusion, equity and rights topics raised in relation to climate change at COP30 in Belem (10 - 21 November 2025) as well as during the International Day for Persons with Disability (3 December 2025). This includes advocacy messages; events; and new research and policy papers.

This is a public resource that aims to capture some of the deep and rich effort, research, advocacy, policy discussions, negotiations and progress made during COP30. I have developed this resource to help inform the work that continues for the disability movement, and across movements, into 2026: including 19th Session of the Conference of States Parties (COSP19) (June 2026) and planning for COP31 (November 2026), including a “pre-COP” in the Pacific. ****

Please note: I have created this page to support work across organisations and movements - it is not supported by or designed to profile any specific organisations. If you have content to share, please send suggestions! I am working to make this page more accessible and also welcome suggestions.
