Climate Change is a disability rights issue. The effects of climate change, from global warming to pollution, are a looming and urgent threat to the disabled community, who are disproportionately vulnerable to climate disasters. From impacts on physical health to mental health, sensory issues to support during a crisis, we'll talk all things climate and disability justice.

Working across education, industry and policy and working with young people, business leaders, academics and policymakers- Jaz is the Founder and CEO of Youth Climate Solutions.
