Heatwaves in Andalucia.
Floods in Belgium.
Climate change is life threatening to persons with disabilities.
Our new briefing reveals the human cost of inaccessible responses, and how climate legislations can be inclusive.
Read 'Disaster by Design': www.edf-feph.org/publications...
People with disabilities and their organisations are still largely shut off from the climate conversation.

Following this super interesting (and important) conference, that unfortunately is not accessible (once again). Apparently disabled people are not affected by climate change... #NoOneLeftBehind

Things I keep after the 2 #Eurovision2025 semifinals:
-My top3 are #Greece, #Germany & #Estonia (very different songs, for all moods)

-I don't like any of the favorites
-Overall the quality is worse than previous years
