About this episode
Emma chats with Anna Landre about the impact of climate change on disabled people and the need for inclusive disaster planning.
Transcript and Youtube version [CC] . This episode, Emma chats with Anna Landre about a very important topic - how climate change impacts disabled people, where they're left out of climate action, and how the lack of inclusive disaster planning and response costs disabled lives. Anna Landre is an award-winning activist and researcher focusing on what she calls the disability law "implementation gap:" when good laws on paper fail to translate into better outcomes for disabled people in practice. She works across fields including humanitarian response, social care, transport access, disability culture, and more. Anna is a PhD Candidate at the UCL Global Disability Innovation Hub, where she studies and maps Disabled People’s Organizations (DPOs) globally. She is also the Global Research and Response Lead at The Partnership for Inclusive Disaster Strategies, where in Ukraine she spearheaded the first-ever wartime evacuation mechanism for disabled people.
