Drawing from the Global Adaptation Mapping Initiative – the first global systematic mapping of peer-reviewed literature on climate change adaptation – this report finds that although individuals and households lead adaptation efforts, they are the least involved in institutional responses, particularly in the global south. The report makes no mention of gender – which reinforces the authors’ finding that “Overall, understanding of institutional, multi-actor, and transformational adaptation is still limited.” For more on adaptation, including some discussion on gender, also read: Interrogating ‘Effectiveness’ in Climate Change Adaptation: 11 Guiding Principles for Adaptation Research and Practice (2020).
