Mobilizing Knowledge on Gender, Equity, and Justice in Climate Change Adaptation

The document serves as a bridge between the technical, 3,000-page IPCC Sixth Assessment Report (Working Group II) and practical application by distilling its findings on gender, equity, and justice. It emphasizes that effective climate adaptation requires a 'whole-of-society approach' involving governments, civil society, and the private sector. To increase the uptake of inclusive approaches, the brief provides illustrative examples and a companion comic, specifically contextualizing these messages through experiences in Africa, such as childcare programs in Kigali to support women's participation in nature-based solutions.

• The IPCC Sixth Assessment Report's Working Group II on Impacts, Adaptation, and Vulnerability contains a record amount of information on gender, equity, and justice, though its technical nature and length (over 3,000 pages) create barriers to access for non-technical actors.
• Successful climate adaptation necessitates a comprehensive 'whole-of-society approach' that integrates gender, equity, and justice considerations across a diverse set of stakeholders, including governments, private sector actors, and individual citizens.
• Practical application of gender-responsive adaptation in Africa includes addressing childcare barriers to enable women's work on nature-based solutions and challenging discriminatory norms that limit access to natural resources and governance.
