This report analyses how disability is referenced in climate policies worldwide, noting that mentions have increased significantly, with the global inclusion score nearly doubling since 2023. By mapping both progress and persistent gaps across jurisdictions, it calls on states to strengthen their commitment to disability rights and introduces new criteria to evaluate how policies respond to the compounded vulnerabilities faced by women and children with disability. 

The report stresses equitable and effective climate governance must move beyond symbolic acknowledgment toward meaningful action, ensuring full participation and intersectional inclusion in all aspects of climate policymaking.
