ABSTRACT
My experiences of climate anxiety deeply intersect with my experiences of disability and ill health. Due to the ableism we face at every level of society, disabled people are all too often treated as disposable in crisis situations and are much more likely to live in poverty and be isolated from our communities. This makes us particularly vulnerable to climate change and less able to access support for our mental health, including the deep feelings of anxiety, fear, anger and grief surrounding the climate crisis many of us experience. This lack of support is often exacerbated if we are multiply marginalised.
