Abstract

Background: Climate change and disability are rarely addressed by academic scholars within the spectrum of disabilities and as a single field of study. However, the intersectionality of disability exacerbates the vulnerability of people with disabilities to climate change as climate change frameworks in the Global North and South continue excluding them.Objectives: This study aims to map the research-based knowledge housed in Scopus on disability and climate change. At the same time, it provides insights into innovative (novelty) ways of thinking and proposes a futuristic research agenda.Method: A bibliometric analysis was conducted on Scopus-indexed articles using VOSviewer to map co-occurrences of keywords and co-authorship, and a manual thematic-scoping review augmented the data analysis.Results: The disability and climate change debate as a joint study evolved from concern among health practitioners to human rights and social inclusion.Conclusion: In conclusion, there is a skewness towards mental health and medical sociology lens, while other sub-groups of persons with disabilities are yet to be engaged in co-creating disability-inclusive climate change knowledge.Contribution: Thematic areas emerged as gaps that future studies embed principles enshrined in the United Nations Convention for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and the Sustainable Development Goals.

利用文献计量分析绘制 Scopus 中的残疾与气候变化知识库图谱

背景：学术界很少将气候变化与残疾问题作为一个单一的研究领域进行研究。然而，残疾的交叉性加剧了残疾人在气候变化面前的脆弱性，因为全球北方和南方的气候变化框架继续将他们排除在外：本研究旨在绘制 Scopus 中有关残疾与气候变化的研究型知识图谱。同时，它还提供了对创新（新颖性）思维方式的见解，并提出了未来的研究议程：方法：使用 VOSviewer 对 Scopus 索引的文章进行了文献计量分析，以绘制关键词共同出现和共同作者的图谱，并通过人工专题范围审查对数据分析进行了补充：结果：作为一项联合研究，残疾与气候变化的辩论从卫生工作者的关注发展到人权和社会包容：结论：总之，研究偏重于心理健康和医学社会学视角，而其他残疾人亚群体尚未参与共同创造兼顾残疾问题的气候变化知识：贡献：专题领域出现了差距，今后的研究应纳入《联合国残疾人权利公约》和可持续发展目标中的原则。

期刊介绍： The African Journal of Disability, the official journal of CRS, AfriNEAD and CEDRES, introduce and discuss issues and experiences relating to and supporting the act of better understanding the interfaces between disability, poverty and practices of exclusion and marginalisation. Its articles yield new insight into established human development practices, evaluate new educational techniques and disability research, examine current cultural and social discrimination, and bring serious critical analysis to bear on problems shared across the African continent. Emphasis is on all aspects of disability particularity in the developing African context. This includes, amongst others: -disability studies as an emerging field of public health enquiry -rehabilitation, including vocational and community-based rehabilitation -community development and medical issues related to disability and poverty -disability-related stigma and discrimination -inclusive education -legal, policy, human rights and advocacy issues related to disability -the role of arts and media in relation to disability -disability as part of global Sustainable Development Goals transformation agendas -disability and postcolonial issues -globalisation and cultural change in relation to disability -environmental and climate-related issues linked to disability -disability, diversity and intersections of identity -disability and the promotion of human development.
