We just published our third edition of the “EU in the World report”, highlighting EDF’s advocacy and policy work to advance disability inclusion across EU international cooperation, humanitarian action, disaster risk reduction, and climate policy.
The report outlines key developments from 2025, including EDF’s engagement with EU institutions on the next EU budget, humanitarian aid, preparedness and crisis response, climate action, and the implementation of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) in EU external action. It also presents major advocacy achievements, ongoing challenges, and priorities for 2026.
Among the key issues covered are disability inclusion in EU development aid, the need for a Disability Action Plan in EU external action, inclusive humanitarian response in Ukraine and Palestine, and EDF’s work on disaster preparedness and climate negotiations. The report also highlights growing collaboration with OPDs and international partners worldwide.
