Earth Day, celebrated on April 22nd, is a global event focused on environmental protection and sustainability. While the day emphasises the importance of taking action to protect the planet, it also highlights the intersection of environmental issues and disability inclusion. Disabled people are often disproportionately affected by environmental changes, such as extreme weather events or lack of accessible infrastructure. Earth Day serves as a reminder that sustainability efforts must be inclusive and consider the needs of all individuals, ensuring that future generations of all abilities can thrive in a healthy, accessible world.
