Our Creative Director, Jason Boberg was on the ground in Sharm El-Sheikh for the COP27 United Nations Climate Negotiations. As a Co-Founder of the SustainedAbility Disability & Climate Network - which Activate incubates - Jason spoke on the impacts of climate change on disabled people; the progress on disability inclusion within the UNFCCC; and considerations for disabled people on the important issue of Loss and Damage, and disability inclusion within negotiations on Action for Climate Empowerment.
Jason Boberg, a member of the disability caucus at the UN, as well as the founder of the disability climate action network SustainedAbility, says figuring out where loss and damage finance will come from and how to secure some of it for disabled people living in disaster-prone areas is “front of mind” for members of the disability caucus.
