Bold new perspective on one of the century’s defining crises: Climate Change and Disability by Marcalee Alexander reframes climate conversations to center the lived experiences of people with disabilities. This compelling, evidence-rich book spotlights how rising temperatures, extreme weather, and shifting infrastructure compound everyday barriers—and what inclusive adaptation truly looks like.
