Get involved – Disability-Led Climate Adaptation Pilot

23 May 2025

The Cerebral Palsy Society has received information about a new pilot that supports climate adaptation. The Disability-Led Climate Adaptation Pilot is being led by Auckland’s disability community.

“Auckland Council has a one-off grant fund of $100,000 to kickstart disability-led projects that support disabled people to prepare for and respond to climate disruption. The disability community will lead this mahi — coming up with the ideas and recommending to Auckland Council how the funding should be spent. We encourage collaboration within the disability community, and with other sectors.

“It’s a pilot, so we’re testing ideas – not just about how the funding is allocated, but also how to partner properly with the disability community and build better relationships with Council.”
