The Intersection of Accessibility and Sustainability

Accessibility and sustainability share crucial similarities in their implementation challenges and goals. Both are often considered only at the end of a development cycle, which can lead to increased costs and inefficiencies if not addressed from the outset. Additionally, there is a prevalent attitude that while everyone desires an accessible and sustainable online presence, organizations are often reluctant to allocate budget for these initiatives. This reluctance can result in the need for internal leadership or regulatory support to drive meaningful change, similar to existing frameworks for accessibility standards.
