A lo largo de la historia las personas en situación de discapacidad se han visto discriminadas en diversos escenarios de su vida cotidiana. Como lo ha sostenido la Corte Constitucional, "las ciudades se han construido bajo el paradigma del sujeto completamente habilitado. La educación, la recreación, el transporte, los lugares y los medios de trabajo, incluso el imaginario colectivo de felicidad, se fundan en la idea de una persona que se encuentra en pleno ejercicio de todas sus capacidades físicas y mentales." (Sentencia C-559 de 2001). En las últimas décadas ha evolucionado el concepto y tratamiento de la discapacidad, superándose la idea que atribula su origen a aspectos religiosos o científicos, ubicando por el contrario su causa en un entamo social inadecuadamente dispuesto. Se encuentra en el interior de esta concepción, que es la forma como está estructurada la sociedad la que provoca la discapacidad al dificultar o impedir la satisfacción de las necesidades e intereses propios de cada individuo y su participación en los diferentes ámbitos sociales; postulando, en consecuencia, que corresponde a la misma comunidad la realización de acciones positivas que propendan por la eliminación de las barreras que se configuraron en su diseño. Conforme a los anteriores postulados, propios de la teoría del modelo social de tratamiento de las personas en situación de discapacidad, con un análisis doctrinal, jurisprudencial y normativo, en el presente texto se evidencia la necesidad de garantizar la integración e inclusión de las personas en situación de discapacidad de manera plena y en igualdad de condiciones, y la vital importancia de la efectiva y plena satisfacción de los derechos a la movilidad y al transporte público para el cumplimiento de estos objetivos.

Published to coincide with the Fourth United Nations Environmental Assembly, the Summary for Policymakers of the sixth Global Environment Outlook provides an evidence-based source of environmental information to help policymakers in government, local authorities and businesses achieve the UN's Sustainable Development Goals. Since the first edition in 1997, there have been many examples of environmental improvement, especially where problems have been well identified, manageable, and where regulatory and technological solutions have been readily available. Nevertheless, the overall condition of the global environment has deteriorated and urgent action, involving ambitious and effective policies, is necessary to arrest and reverse this situation. This Summary for Policymakers answers key policy questions by assessing the drivers of environmental change, the scale and effectiveness of policy responses, potential pathways for achieving sustainability goals in an increasingly complex world, and the data and information that can support the decision-making process. Also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
