We asked 380 top climate scientists about the future.

They are terrified, but determined to keep fighting.

A2 Embedding disability inclusive culture requires consistency. Leaders can’t turn up once a year to cut the ribbon at an event they need to walk the talk. #Accessibility & #disability should be topics that “business as usual”. Authentic leaders listen & take action #AXSChat
