What if the climate strategy most plans leave out is the one that makes all the others work?

When heat waves hit, floodwaters rise, or the trains stop running, Disabled people are among the first harmed and the last consulted. That gap isn’t just unjust. It’s a design flaw in climate action, and fixing it makes every plan stronger.

In this live, captioned session, Disabled advocate Nico Meyering shares field-tested strategies for accessible climate action and inclusive sustainability. You’ll learn how to build disability inclusion into climate resilience, public transit, extreme heat planning, green events, and community campaigns. The tools come from real wins in Philadelphia, and you can use them anywhere in the world to design climate solutions that work for everyone.

Bring your questions. Leave with a plan. When we design with Disabled people, everybody wins. The curb cut proved it.
