Despite a shared interest in issues related to quality of life, environmental sustainability and accessibility are not often thought of together (McDonagh, forthcoming). This has resulted in a lack of prioritization of accessibility in discussion about sustainability, with governments slow to include people with disabilities in their climate mitigation plans (Kosanac et al. 2019; Jodoin et al. 2022). While accessibility and sustainability are not often thought of together, both feature in the United Nations\u2019 (UN) 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) (2015). More specifically, Goals 4 (\u201cQuality Education\u201d), 8 (\u201cDecent Work and Economic Growth\u201d), 10 (\u201cReduced Inequality\u201d), 11 (\u201cSustainable Cities\u201d) and 17 (\u201cPartnership for Goals\u201d) all identify the importance of ensuring that the transition to carbon zero is inclusive to everyone, irrespective of age, sex, disability, ethnicity, origin, religion, economic or social status (McDonagh & Brescia-Zapata, 2023). The SDGs recognize the importance of developing sustainable solutions that safeguard against inequality and exclusion (2015). At a European level, the European Union\u2019s Green Deal recognizes the importance of leaving \u201cno person or place\u201d behind as the bedrock for the green transition (European Commission, 2019).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a successful inaugural conference in 2022, the Green Digital Accessibility Conference was back offering a platform to bridge work in digital media, communication and environmental studies, with a particular focus on the role of accessibility in the green transition. The conference took part over the course of two days and included workshops and talks that bridge the gap between accessibility and sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
