"The climate crisis is not just about the environment—it’s about people." Kashaf Alvi, a disability advocate and Global Shaper at the Islamabad Hub, delivers a stark reminder in The Nation: Climate change is a human crisis, disproportionately affecting 1.3 billion persons with disabilities worldwide. The fight for climate action cannot be separated from the fight for inclusion and equity. As Kashaf puts it: 👉 “The question isn’t just how you’ll address climate change—it’s how you’ll ensure that no one is left to suffer because they don’t fit your narrow vision of progress.” This is a call for leaders, policymakers, and all of us to rethink climate strategies through an inclusive lens. The resilience and determination of the most vulnerable must shape our response. Because the true measure of success isn’t just mitigation—it’s ensuring that no one is left behind. #ClimateAction #DisabilityInclusion #LeaveNoOneBehind

I am honored to be featured in The Nation today! My mission is clear: to challenge the status quo and the outdated policies written for us, without us, disrupt narratives, and demand a world where inclusivity isn’t an afterthought—it’s the standard. This isn’t just my story; it’s a call to action. Grateful to "THE NATION" for amplifying the fight for disability rights, climate justice, and true accessibility. The conversation is just the beginning. Read the full interview here: https://lnkd.in/gnFrBCRj
