Until recently, little attention has been paid to the concerns of people living with disabilities during extreme weather events and long-term climate changes. Climate Change and Disability: A Collaborative Approach to a Sustainable, Inclusive Future for All delineates the general and specific risks of climate change for people living with disabilities and how we can use accessible approaches to mitigate, adapt, and control these risks, while maximizing opportunities for people living with disabilities. The book opens with an introduction on how we got here. The book continues with sections on actions and research, the physiologic impact of different disabilities, and discussions of specific continents and countries, where issues related to climate change exist. Education and advocacy are covered in detail, and the book wraps up with a section on action and research, detailing how to respond to extreme weather events including how various types of disabilities are impacted by different events.
Climate Change and Disability: A Collaborative Approach to a Sustainable, Inclusive Future for All serves as a guide for a broad audience at the crossroads of environmental adaptation and human health. Physicians, as well as nurses, physical and occupational therapists, and other allied health professionals will find it valuable for tailoring care for people living with disabilities due to climate change. Advocates and individuals living with disabilities will gain insight into advocacy for inclusive policies and personal preparedness. Scientists and clinicians interested in the health and societal impacts of climate change will find it useful in informing their research and practice. Policymakers and politicians can utilize this resource to develop equitable climate strategies, ensuring that environmental justice concerns are inclusive.
