To support respectful discussions about disability and the climate crisis, @sensing-climate.bsky.social has launched ‘Crip Up Climate Conversations’. "Vulnerability is created by our society not by our bodies, and it doesn’t have to be that way." ecehh.org/news/guidance-climate-disability/

Exciting upcoming event, organised by the wonderful Tanvir Bush, from 3-5th Sep in Corsham, called ‘A Place At The Table’, to explore why & how to ensure inclusion is at the heart of our councils, institutions & communities. Find out more/register online: www.ticketsource.co.uk/bathspalive/...

So looking forward to our next 'Disability & Climate: In Conversation With' session with the wonderful Louise Kenward!!

Storms at this time of year are not unheard of, but the strength of Floris yesterday was unprecedented. Governments must do everything in their power to protect us from the danger, disruption and damage increasingly extreme weather is causing.

A huge thank you to @pollyrowena.bsky.social for joining our 3rd ‘Disability & Climate: In conversation with…’ event today! A thought-provoking talk (as always!)… “This is the story, pass it on: the future will be accessible because we will ALL make sure it is” - recording to follow!

‘Delivering disability inclusive climate action’ – a new resource pack for cities by the C40 Knowledge Hub! Excited to delve into these! www.c40knowledgehub.org/s/article/De...

“One of the things I'm convinced is crucial is asserting this bedrock recognition that we deserve a place on this Earth. It matters to me that disabled people are in the world. We matter, we deserve to be here. I love us so furiously. I want us to help each other make it through" ❤️

And it’s out, this paper has been in the making for a long while! ‘Beyond the Single Story of Climate Vulnerability: Centring Disabled People and Their Knowledges in “Care-Full” Climate Action’: doi.org/10.13169/int...

Would you like to make your climate protests more inclusive and accessible? Find out how in this excellent guide by Emma Geen and her super collaborators! sensing-climate.com/news/protest...

And for anyone who is curious to learn more about eco-ableism, this introduction may be of interest! sensing-climate.com/news/reflect...

In an earlier news piece, we shared why it's important to understand the social, political and economic causes of climate vulnerability amongst disabled people, and broaden the single story of vulnerability: sensing-climate.com/news/beyond-...

In our recent news piece, we reflect on the potential for 'crip time' to offer a safer, more care-full approach when considering methods of engagement with climate action: sensing-climate.com/news/climate...

Disabled activists have called on Labour ministers to reverse the position of the last government on adapting to climate change, following a high court setback. #ClimateChange
