SDG 13…. WHAT???

– TARGETS

– 13.1 Strengthen resilience and adaptive capacity to climate-related hazards and natural disasters in all countries

– 13.2 Integrate climate change measures into national policies, strategies and planning

– 13.3 Improve education, awareness-raising and human and institutional capacity on climate change mitigation, adaptation, impact reduction and early warning

– 13.a Implement the commitment undertaken by developed-country parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change to a goal of mobilizing jointly $100 billion annually by 2020 from all sources to address the needs of developing countries in the context of meaningful mitigation actions and transparency on implementation and fully operationalize the Green Climate Fund through its capitalization as soon as possible

– 13.b Promote mechanisms for raising capacity for effective climate change-related planning and management in least developed countries and small island developing States, including focusing on women, youth and local and marginalized communities

The connection Between SDG 13 and the CRPD– The UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities

(CRPD), articles 11 and 32, requires that persons with disabilities benefit from and participate in disaster relief, emergency response and Disaster Risk Reduction strategies.

– Therefore the CRPD can act as an important tool to guide SDG 13 implementation and ensure accessibility and inclusion in all programs.

Vulnerability & Resilience within this Goal

– Goal 13 Speaks specifically to strengthening resilience and Adaptive capacity to climate-related hazards and natural disasters in all countries.

- In relation to vulnerabilities these will differ across countries and within given context but this is addressed by the goals target to educate and raise awareness.

Inclusive Consultative processes– A post-2015 global development framework must take into account the

knowledge and suggestions of persons with disabilities living in disaster prone countries, to make sure that goals, indicators and developmental policies are fully inclusive of the rights of persons with disabilities.

- Disability must be systematically taken-up across all of the disaster management cycles.

- Disaster Risk Reduction strategies, climate resilience programmes and conflict prevention/mitigation policies should make disability a core, cross-cutting theme, which must be included in a post-2015 global development framework.

Disability Assets that are brought to SDG Agenda

“Disabled people’ intricate, daily negotiations with risk, hazard and barriers make them extremely well placed to be at the heart of such forums in a way that would benefit all

as opposed to being seen as a marginal viewpoint” (Abott & Porter, 2013).

Conclusion

Climate change adversely affects people with disabilities and we can no longer afford to remain silent about these factors. By remaining silent we imply that disability does not matter and at the same time infringing upon constitutional rights of people with disabilities.
