Информационный бюллетень по ЦУР - Инвалидность (2019)

Rates of disability in the WHO European Region are steadily increasing due to chronic health conditions, nonfatal injuries and population ageing. People with disabilities often face not only poor health but also persistent inequality, with less access to health care, housing, employment and financial security. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) pledge to leave no one behind and recognize disability as an issue that cuts across all SDGs. This fact sheet includes an overview of the issues, indicators, facts and figures, and a disability-inclusive agenda of actions.
