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

This technical brief by the International Institute for Sustainable Development summarizes key findings on gender, equity, and justice from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Sixth Assessment Report (Working Group II) to make technical knowledge more accessible to practitioners, advocates, and educators.

• The IPCC's Sixth Assessment Report from Working Group II on Impacts, Adaptation, and Vulnerability contains a higher volume of information regarding gender, equity, and justice than any previous IPCC report, though its technical style and length—exceeding 3,000 pages—can create barriers to access for non-technical audiences.
• Successful climate adaptation requires a 'whole-of-society approach' involving a diverse array of stakeholders, including individual citizens, community organizations, service providers, private sector actors, civil society organizations, and governments.
• To improve the adoption of socially inclusive and gender-responsive adaptation, the brief provides summaries of the WG II report and a companion comic, incorporating perspectives from practitioners and advocates working in Africa.
