There are more than two billion persons in the world to whom access and inclusion is denied, whether it be in the workplace, financial institutions, entrepreneurial assistance and many other taken-for-granted social structures. X-abled aims to reduce and eradicate these obstacles and energize a resource society has long marginalized.

Using vehicles enacted by the UN’s SDG goals, governmental ESG frameworks and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), X-abled seeks to defragment a fragmented network into a cohesive and value-added community which can uphold and implement laws, accessibility and inclusion at all levels of society.

X-abled will finance through joint-ventures, grants, direct investments and a membership-driven platform to lend monetary structure and transparent intention to an overall push to include one of societies un-tapped and un-resolved social strata.

For governments, institutions and corporations, X-abled is a go-to solution for workplace equality, inclusion, happiness and well-being in a climate of cooperation and impactful purpose. Embrace the whole of society for the betterment of all.

Sustainable Ability Goals

First we had the MDG’s, then the SDG’s and now the Green Chi Group SAG’s (Sustainable Ability Goals)

The blind often have heightened senses, autistics often display unique critical insight, those who suffer physical loss often have a proportionate gain in spirit and perseverance. The word disability insinuates that those without disability take full advantage of their abilities – the humbling reality of this falsehood is apparent in all aspects of life.

“Measure our successes from the depths from which we have come rather than the heights to which we hope to ascend” *.

X-abled considers abilities to be multitudinous in nature, diverse and unique. Sustainable Ability Goals are recognition of that abundance and that we all deserve inclusion in the human theater and should demand access to its many forms and institutions.

The ‘Forgotten’ 2 Billion!

There are currently more than 2 billion disabled people in the world. That is 37.5% of the world’s population.

Getting to know more about disabled people is getting to know more than 2 billion citizens of the world who are longing for one thing: a more accessible world…

According to the World Health Organization (WHO) a disabled person is anyone who has “a problem in body function or structure, an activity limitation, has a difficulty in executing a task or action; with a participation restriction”.

MEET X-ABLED !

X-abled is Green Chi Group’s disability, access and inclusion platform, focusing on ABILITIES

Imagine the world in 2030 fully inclusive of persons with disabilities, including invisible disabilities

The concept of invisible disability takes its name from the forms of disability that are not apparent but that impact the quality of life. Among these are schizophrenia or deafness for example.

Far from clichés representing a disabled person in a wheelchair on the usual signage all over the world, the field of disability includes a vast range of disorders that are sensory, cognitive, psychological or chronic.

As we can see, disability comes in many different forms and is progressing all over the world. While some disabilities are temporary, others, on the other hand, affect the everyday actions of people in the long term.

A bit of history:

In 2000 we saw the UN adopting the MDG’s (Millennial Development Goals). Then replacing these with the SDG’s (Sustainable Development Goals) in 2015. Now Green Chi Group is working to extend this further by trying to make a push for SAG’s – Sustainable Ability Goals

The SDGs already explicitly include disability and persons with disabilities. Disability is referenced in multiple parts of the SDGs, specifically in the parts related to education, growth and employment, inequality, accessibility of human settlements, as well as data collection and the monitoring of the SDGs.

Although, the word “disability” is not cited directly in all goals, the goals are indeed relevant to ensure the inclusion and development of persons with disabilities.

The implemented 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development holds a deep promise for persons with disabilities everywhere.

X-abled’s ambition is to help:

Raise awareness of the 2030 Agenda and the achievement of the SDGs for persons with disabilities;
Promote an active dialogue among stakeholders on the SDGs with a view to create a better world for persons with disabilities; and
Establish an ongoing live web resource on each SDG and disability.

On our X-abled platform we invite all interested parties in sharing their vision of the world in 2030 to be inclusive of persons with disabilities.
