Recent studies emphasise that a gender approach to social inequalities ought to move beyond just looking at men and women as experiencing impacts in a differentiated manner; rather, an intersectional analysis illuminates how different individuals and groups relate differently to climate change due to their situatedness in power structures based on context-specific and dynamic social categorisations  . Thus, the relationship between gender and adaptation demands an analytical framework that connects environmental problems with social inequalities in a complex way . An intersectional approach helps to better capture the diversity of adaptive strategies that men and women adopt vis-à- vis climate change. Particular constellations of race, gender, class, age or nationality reveal more complex realities .
