Building climate-resilient, inclusive, and environmentally sustainable communities where persons with disabilities are not left behind.
Understanding Climate Justice & Resilience
Climate change intensifies floods, droughts, heatwaves, and food insecurity — affecting vulnerable populations the most. Persons with disabilities, women, children, and the elderly often face greater risks, limited mobility, fewer resources, and lower access to early-warning systems.
ASI works to ensure climate action is inclusive, accessible, and community-driven, advancing a justice-centered approach where no one is left behind.
Key Challenges:
Increased exposure to extreme weather events
Limited mobility during disasters
Reduced access to early warning information
Loss of livelihoods due to climate shocks
Exclusion from climate planning and community decisions
