It was great to be joined by Áine Kelly-Costello (they/them) for this session, a disabled researcher, journalist and advocate.
In the disability-related climate justice space, Áine writes for the newsletter Disability Debrief, has hosted a season of the Enabling Commons podcast and has assisted in climate justice capacity building in Aotearoa NZ, where they live.
Their focus is to uplift marginalised voices and connect people to resources to build community and expose injustice.
Áine spoke about their experiences as a disabled climate activist and working to make climate action more accessible.
