Résumé des données de recherche pour des processus de plan national d’adaptation (PNA) prenant en compte les questions de genre

The document synthesizes research from the IPCC's Working Group II to highlight how gender, equity, and justice are critical to effective climate adaptation. It identifies highly vulnerable groups—including women, children, indigenous peoples, and persons with disabilities—and argues that ignoring these social dimensions leads to 'maladaptation.' The briefing advocates for inclusive participation, the integration of indigenous and local knowledge, and a rights-based approach to ensure that adaptation efforts are equitable and sustainable.

• Specific groups face higher vulnerability to climate impacts due to intersecting socio-economic and identity factors, including women, children, elderly persons, people living in poverty, indigenous peoples, and those facing discrimination based on race, ethnicity, caste, sexuality, or gender identity.
• Historical and ongoing marginalization based on gender, race, wealth, and disability restricts the ability of certain groups to prepare for, cope with, and recover from climate effects, often forcing them into high-risk areas like floodplains or urban heat islands.
• Climate impacts are gendered across multiple sectors: women may face increased workloads for water collection, higher risks of gender-based violence, and specific nutritional needs in health, while also bearing a disproportionate share of unpaid care work.
• Adaptation planning that ignores gender, equity, and justice risks 'maladaptation,' which can increase vulnerability, transfer risks to other social groups, or exacerbate existing inequalities.
• Inclusive participation and the integration of diverse voices and indigenous/local knowledge improve adaptation outcomes and help rectify historical marginalization.
• Effective adaptation requires addressing the root causes of vulnerability, such as poverty, and improving social safety nets, housing, and health initiatives to create transformative change.
