A global assessment of 1682 papers on adaptation  finds that about 60% of articles mentioned at least one vulnerable group being involved in the implementation of adaptation or targeted by it . Low-income groups  and women  are the most frequently mentioned. Particularly in sectors and regions that incorporated coping measures in their adaptation response , these groups are prevalent. In sectors where responses were more strategic or planned, such as in cities, terrestrial and water, in a larger proportion of articles  vulnerable groups were not frequently included in the response . There was also a stark difference in inclusion of marginalised and vulnerable groups between high-income and low-income countries or regions, with the majority of the responses from Australia, Europe and North America, not including marginalised groups , showing the need for increasing attention in particular on a cross-sectoral and cross-regional relation .
