Tanzania's environment council marked disability awareness day by pushing for better access to green spaces and climate planning. NEMC Director General Dr Immaculate Semesi said environmental work falls flat when disabled people get left out of major decisions, and she wants government offices plus private companies making buildings and sidewalks way easier to navigate.
The council set up committees to bring disabled voices into national environmental talks, plus they're hammering local governments about emergency plans since disabled folks take harder hits during floods and pollution disasters. NEMC keeps running awareness campaigns with disability rights groups to shift how society thinks about inclusion.
Dr Semesi wrapped things up by saying the council wants every environmental policy centered on fairness and making sure disabled citizens aren't getting overlooked when projects roll out.
