Are you passionate about the intersection between climate change, disability and the natural environment?

Over four years, Green Horizons will develop and test a scalable model of disability-inclusive climate action, with Disabled people recognised as leaders in resilience at local, city and national levels.

Centered around the principles of Social Model of Disability, Green Horizons focuses on the intersection of climate change, disability and the natural environment.
