Democracy Now! 
Activists in Baku, Azerbaijan, for #COP29 are demanding urgent action to cut emissions and mitigate climate risk. Nadia Hadad from the European Disability Forum tells Democracy Now! that people with disabilities are often “the most impacted” in extreme weather events.

About The Author
So 1.9 billion is close to a quarter of the world's population. Shocking stuff.
Aging in itself increases numbers of those w disabilities, accidents happen also. No one is exempt, remember everyone! Accessibility makes it easier for all.
Thank you for platforming this message, it's so important. Nobody thinks about it until it personally impacts them, but all of those 1.9 billion have people who love them and NEED them to be safe. It has a real effect on all of us if we're lucky to live to our second decade, and especially by the fourth.

Thank you for giving a platform to this person! Climate change threatens all of our health and we’re much closer to being disabled by our societies than we might realize.
Nobody owes the botched, the damned, the weak, or the ill anything. I do have sympathy for their plight; they voice their concerns for their ‘community’ out of self-interest, after all. Even in taking that into account, though, there is no law in nature which states that the healthy and the strong must care for those lesser and weaker than them. In fact, nature operates in quite the opposite way… And we are not above nature whatsoever—although we might like to think that we are. In the absence of a strong, able body, deception is the only real means for survival and prosperity in this world. Hence the guilt-tripping, the moral argumentation, the invention and assertion of notions such as “rights”, “obligations”, “selflessness”, and so on and so forth. And where these individuals cannot live vis-a-vis the work of their own bodies, they try in every possible way to convince those who can to attend to their every whim. The term “parasitic” doesn’t even begin to describe that relation…
Most 🌎religions speak to protecting the “weak, sick, elderly, women, and children”. Now, that our world faces so many climate and other economic crises, those values seem to be TOSSED ASIDE. Especially by those religious institutions with the most property, 💎 jewels and the billionaires class who could ECONOMICALLY SOLVE all of these problems if they put their money where their bank 🏦 account clouds ⛅️ were stored.
She has a great message
Omg, when humanity will understand that the si called elites wat us busy with all of the issues that we are fighting for, so they can be able to go on with their own agendas.
We need to fight against them as one hand for all the issues we are facing, together. We need to unite.
It would be revealing to know her definition of disabled.
Majority of the overpopulated areas are in the south as well.🐣

Capitalists reduce humanity to costs. Socialism recognizes humanity, as a right.
