ABSTRACT

The world population surpasses 15% with disabilities, yet these individuals remain insufficiently integrated in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). People with disabilities face ongoing barriers to inclusive development when the SDGs aim to achieve equity through 2030 in education, employment, healthcare and infrastructure sectors. The following analysis studies the disability inclusion factor in core SDGs No Poverty, Quality Education, and Decent Work to Sustainable Cities with emphasis on the barriers and potential remedies for global development participation. The process of barrier elimination and environmental inclusion strongly depends on three main factors: technology implementation, regulatory adjustments, and heightened public disability awareness. The United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres stated that protecting disability rights creates opportunities for future development that transcend issues of fairness. The implementation of    disability inclusion serves essential social as well as economic, and moral purposes. Every development stage must have accessibility integrated to fulfill the “no one left behind” promise stated in the United Nations (2023). This research article emphasizes the need to develop a future society where disability does not prevent anyone from succeeding.
