Abstract

Disabled people are highly susceptible to climate change impacts and disasters, yet they often remain sidelined or largely invisible. Policy makers, humanitarian agencies, and governments need to address the climate-related vulnerabilities that disabled people encounter during acute events and in the course of more creeping forms of climate change. As deaf researchers, we call for integrating disability justice into climate and disaster preparedness policies and practices worldwide. A disability justice approach can embrace the strengths that disabled people bring to disaster planning and climate mitigation and advocacy efforts. In this article we present case studies from different global regions to illustrate how disability is overlooked in responding to climate-related health impacts and disaster planning. We also draw particular attention to mutual aid networks led by disabled people in adapting to climate-related health impacts. We then suggest questions to help policy makers and practitioners integrate disability justice into their work. Above all, disabled people, organizations, and service providers should take ownership over the process of developing policies and actions to better prevent, prepare for, and respond to climate disasters.

气候灾害中的全球残疾人正义:动员残疾人作为变革推动者。
残疾人极易受到气候变化影响和灾害的影响,但他们往往被边缘化或基本上被忽视。政策制定者、人道主义机构和各国政府需要解决残疾人在突发事件和各种形式的气候变化中遇到的与气候有关的脆弱性问题。作为聋人研究人员,我们呼吁将残疾人正义纳入全球气候和备灾政策和实践。残疾人司法方法可以利用残疾人在灾害规划、气候缓解和宣传工作中所发挥的优势。在本文中,我们介绍了来自全球不同地区的案例研究,以说明在应对与气候相关的健康影响和灾害规划时,残疾是如何被忽视的。我们还特别提请注意由残疾人领导的互助网络,以适应与气候有关的健康影响。然后,我们提出问题,以帮助政策制定者和从业者将残疾正义融入他们的工作。最重要的是,残疾人、组织和服务提供者应该在制定政策和行动的过程中发挥主导作用,以更好地预防、准备和应对气候灾害。
