Addressing gender and other social inequities  in markets, governance and control over resources is a key enabling condition for climate-resilient transitions in land and aquatic ecosystems  . Adaptation strategies can have negative impacts on marginalised social groups and worsen socioeconomic inequities unless explicit efforts are made to address unequal power dynamics and differences in access to resources in agricultural, fisheries, aquaculture, livestock and forestry systems  . Technical approaches to adaptation that ignore inequities can worsen them; see, for example, the case study on Climate Smart Agriculture . Enabling environments support inclusive decision making, capacity building, shifts in social rules, norms and behaviours and access to resources for marginalised groups for climate change adaptation .
