In the "Special Report on Global Warming 1.5°C," the average temperature of the Earth is observed to have risen by about 1°C as of 2017, and it is required to change the perception that the resulting abnormal climate phenomenon is a task directly related to human survival. Korea's carbon neutrality policy is being implemented in earnest with the "20-year Carbon Neutral Declaration, 2050 Carbon Neutral Vision," but in consideration of the specificity of disability, practical goals and action plans need to be established in cooperation with the public, government, and companies to ensure human rights. Reducing disposable products can lead to unemployment of employed disabled people due to falling sales of vocational rehabilitation facilities for the disabled, and policies for environmental protection can be closely related to daily life and human rights as they appear to be restricted from participating in activities (construction of recycling boxes for the disabled, lack of low-floor buses when using public transportation) In response to the global climate crisis, another inequality and discrimination should not be infringed on the disabled, and we will cooperate to shed light on these human rights issues and discuss ways to coexist for peace and prosperity for all mankind.
