The COVID-19 pandemic has generated suspension of massive face-to-face activities, it has sought to flatten the contagion curve, physical distancing has been required. People with disabilities have been disproportionately affected, two thirds of people who have died from COVID-19 had disabilities, 30% of COVID-19 survivors will develop a disability as a result of the pandemic. The negative effects of other disasters aggravated by the pandemic. Evidence shows that people with disabilities have been left behind in the global catastrophe unleashed by the pandemic. The reconstruction of the world must be inclusive.

The world continues and will continue to be affected by disastrous events and the inclusion of people with disabilities cannot wait any longer.

To promote the participation of actors related to disasters, with disabilities or both, Inclusive NGO and its Endorsing Partners are organizing the FIRST GLOBAL DIGITAL SUMMIT OF INCLUSIVE MANAGEMENT OF DISASTER AND DISABILITY RISK
