Are disabled people forgotten in climate disaster plans?
Access All’s Emma Tracey investigates complaints that Governments aren't including disabled people in their plans for extreme weather events.
About 16 percent of the world’s population is thought to be disabled, but they are still 2 to 4 times more likely to be injured or killed in a natural disaster than those who are not disabled.
Emma Tracey, from the ±«Óătv’s Access All podcast, investigates for The Climate Question, meeting disabled people who have dealt with extreme weather events first hand. As well as those who are researching and enforcing change, even in the places you’d least expect it
