Host Organisation

National Indigenous Disabled Women Association Nepal (NIDWAN), ARROW and APIWGN

Outline

This side event can highlight how Indigenous knowledge, disability rights, and community-led climate solutions can work together to advance inclusive climate resilience. It would center Indigenous Person with disabilities, particularly Indigenous women and girls with disabilities, as knowledge holders, rights-holders, leaders, and decision-makers—not merely as people affected by climate change. The theme is consistent with the UNFCCC’s recognition of the importance of Indigenous knowledge in climate action and the UN Office for Disaster Risk Reduction’s emphasis on disability inclusion, community leadership, and leaving no one behind.
