Climate justice and gender transformative adaptation can provide multiple beneficial impacts that align with sustainable development. Addressing poverty , energy poverty , WaSH , health , education  and hunger -along with inequalities -improves resilience to climate impacts for those groups that are disproportionately affected . Inclusive and fair decision making can enhance resilience , although adaptation measures may also lead to resource conflicts . Nature-based solutions attentive to gender equity also support ecosystem health  . Gender and climate justice will be achieved when the root causes of global and structural issues are addressed, challenging unethical and unacceptable use of power for the benefit of the powerful and elites . Justice and equality need to be at the centre of climate adaptation decision-making processes. A transformative pathway needs to include the voice of the disenfranchised .
