Both climate change and vulnerability threaten the achievement of the UN Sustainable Development Goals  . This undermines progress toward various goals such as no poverty , zero hunger , gender equality  and reducing inequality , among others . Gender inequality and discrimination are among the barriers to adaptation .  Also maladaptation can lead to additional complex and compounding future risks and threaten sustainable development .
