Global DISABILITY Summit 2025 #Berlin
The Global Disability Summit (GDS) is a unique global mechanism that improves the lives of
persons with disabilities, especially from the Global South. It was created in 2017 to convene
global, regional, and national stakeholders that share the same goal and vision for disability
inclusive development and humanitarian action. The summits aim to bridge the gap between
two arenas that are still separate: disability inclusion and development cooperation. The Global
Disability Summit is a mechanism that goes beyond a two-day summit every three years. It is a
mechanism that entails continuous advocacy with global disability development stakeholders
and mobilization of the disability rights movement and its allies. Importantly, it is a partnership
between member states and Organizations of Persons with Disabilities (OPDs), embodied in
the way that co-hosting arrangements are made.
