The document argues that while gender-responsive approaches are increasing, a truly intersectional approach is necessary to address the overlapping structures of inequality—such as racism, ageism, and disability discrimination—that exacerbate climate vulnerability. It outlines core and process principles to guide practitioners through the four stages of the adaptation cycle: risk assessment, planning, implementation, and monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL).

• Climate change vulnerability is significantly worsened by overlapping structures of inequality, including gender inequality, colonialism, racism, and discrimination against people with disabilities, the elderly, and various communities.
• Intersectional approaches are deemed essential for adaptation because they focus on the most marginalized groups, provide a nuanced understanding of vulnerability, integrate diverse knowledge systems (including indigenous and local knowledge), and address the power structures that influence vulnerability.
• The document establishes 'Core Principles' for intersectional adaptation, which require centering the most vulnerable, framing adaptation as a systemic issue to address structural vulnerabilities, and treating marginalized people as rights-holders with agency rather than just victims.
• Six 'Process Principles' are proposed for application throughout the adaptation cycle: positionality reflection, contextual relevance, intentional processes, iterative learning, accessibility and inclusion (including Free, Prior and Informed Consent), and co-production/participation.
• In the risk assessment phase, intersectional approaches require participatory data collection that reveals power dynamics and structural inequalities, ensuring that data is disaggregated to understand how different forms of inequality interact to increase vulnerability.
• Intersectional planning should prioritize adaptation actions that specifically address structural inequalities and target those in extreme vulnerability, potentially by weighting social vulnerability more heavily in multi-criteria analysis.
• Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (MEL) must shift focus from accountability to funders toward accountability to the people, using disaggregated data to track changes in the resilience of those in extreme vulnerability and documenting unintended negative impacts.
