Climate Change & Environmental Justice
Accessibility Considerations:

Climate adaptation and disaster risk reduction plans must be inclusive of persons with disabilities.

Ensure early warning systems are accessible (e.g., visual, auditory, tactile).

Climate finance and resilience-building projects should consult and involve persons with disabilities.

N 301 549 (EU Accessibility Standard)

Focuses on ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) accessibility, used in European contexts.

ISO 14001: Environmental Management Systems

While not an accessibility standard, integrating accessibility within environmental impact assessments under this ISO helps align with inclusivity goals.
