IncluADAPT: Disability-Inclusive Climate Adaptation

气候变化对人类健康和生计构成重大风险，加剧并造成新的健康不平等形式。残疾人——包括占全球人口15%的残疾人——不成比例地面临这些风险，他们的受伤和死亡率更高，影响气候政策或行动的机会更少。通过将残疾人同质化为气候“受害者”，目前解决这些不平等的努力在很大程度上未能解决加剧此类风险的社会、文化和政治条件。必须承认和尊重残疾人的知识和适应能力，以增强包容性气候适应的变革潜力，防止适应不良的规划。包括三个工作包，在三个相关的案例研究城市，IncluADAPT将探索和展示尚未被忽视的机会，在气候适应学术、政策和实践中突出残疾人权利和知识。权利- WP1将分析案例研究领域内外的关键政策和法律文件，以了解是否以及如何将残疾人知识和权利纳入气候变化法律和政策。它将审查残疾人的权利和参与在气候法律和政策框架中可以和应该发挥的作用。气候变化的经验和适应性反应——WP2将利用一个深入的定性研究项目，在三个案例研究城市：都柏林（爱尔兰）、格拉斯哥和布里斯托尔（英国），研究具有不同历史和经历的残疾人如何经历和适应气候变化。通知改变- WP3将综合项目结果，并促使更广泛的公众和决策者：(a)承认和应对气候适应中残疾人的边缘化；(b)重新设想气候适应政策和实践如何为残疾人创造更具包容性的空间。

Climate change poses major risks to human health and livelihoods, in ways that are compounding and creating new forms of health inequality. Disabled people - including 15% of the global population - are disproportionately exposed to these risks, experiencing higher injury and death rates and fewer opportunities to influence climate policy or action. By homogenising disabled people as climate 'victims', current efforts to tackle these inequalities largely fail to address the social, cultural and political conditions that exacerbate such risks. The knowledges and adaptive capacities of disabled people must be recognised and respected to enhance the transformative potential of inclusive climate adaptation and prevent maladaptive planning. Comprising three work packages, in three pertinent case study cities, IncluADAPT will explore and demonstrate as-yet overlooked opportunities to foreground disability rights and knowledges in climate adaptation scholarship, policy and practice. RIGHTS - WP1 will analyse key policy and legal documentation within and beyond the case study areas to understand whether and how disability knowledges and rights are included within climate change law and policy. It will examine the roles that the rights and participation of disabled people could and should play in climate law and policy frameworks. EXPERIENCES AND ADAPTIVE RESPONSES TO CLIMATE CHANGE - WP2 will draw on an in-depth programme of qualitative research to examine how people with varied histories and experiences of disability are experiencing and adapting to climate change in the three case study cities: Dublin (Ireland), Glasgow and Bristol (UK).INFORMING CHANGE - WP3 will synthesise the project findings and provoke wider publics and decision-makers to: (a) recognise and counter the marginalisation of disabled people in climate adaptation; and (b) re-imagine how climate adaptation policy and practice could create more inclusive spaces with and for disabled people.
