"The Global Disability Summit (GDS) is the world’s leading platform for driving forward the rights and inclusion of persons with disabilities. Launched in 2018, the Summit brings together governments, organizations of persons with disabilities (OPDs), civil society, the private sector, international organizations, and donors to accelerate progress on disability-inclusive development and humanitarian action.

The GDS is grounded in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) and supports the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. It serves as a recurring mechanism to promote international cooperation, mobilise commitments, and strengthen accountability for disability inclusion across all sectors."

The summit takes place every two years. Information about the two previous summits in 2018 an 2022 can be found in the Internet Archive. At the 2025 Summit, the "Amman-Berlin Declaration on Global Disability Inclusion" was adopted and the "Global Disability Inclusion Report: Accelerating Disability Inclusion in a Changing and Diverse World" was published.
