Climate policies often fail to consider the unique challenges faced by persons with albinism, leaving them vulnerable to the effects of rising temperatures and increased UV exposure. At Black Albinism, we advocate for climate action plans that recognize these risks, ensuring that persons with albinism are included in national and global climate strategies.
Climate change is not experienced equally. Persons with albinism face heightened health risks and limited access to protective resources, yet they remain largely absent from climate discussions. Without inclusive policies, they continue to be excluded from mitigation efforts, adaptation plans, and funding opportunities that could safeguard their health and well-being.
Policy Engagement – Working with governments and stakeholders to integrate albinism-related health risks into climate policies.
Awareness & Research – Conducting studies and raising public awareness on how climate change disproportionately affects persons with albinism.
