摘要

Climate adaptation excludes Disabled people from policymaking despite disproportionate exposure to climate harms. Recent scholarship identifies this as epistemic injustice but its mechanisms remain underexamined. We argue adaptation frameworks devalue Disabled people’s knowledge by categorising them as inherently vulnerable, presenting ableist perspectives as objective truth – a process operationalised through Integrated Assessment Models. Achieving epistemic justice requires rejecting false objectivity and co-producing adaptation scenarios with Disabled communities through iterative situated modelling.
