Among the adaptation actions, ecosystem-based actions have the strongest net positive links with SDG 5 targets . In the health, well-being and changing communities' sector, this is with robust evidence and medium agreement, while in all other sectors there is medium evidence and low agreement. Net negative links are most prominent in institutional adaptation actions . For example, in mountain ecosystems, changes in gender roles in response to climatic and socioeconomic stressors is not supported by institutional practices, mechanisms and policies that remain patriarchal . Additionally, women often have less access to credit for climate change adaptation practices, including post-disaster relief, for example, to deal with salinisation of water or flooding impacts . Lack of coordination among different city authorities can also limit women's contribution in informal settlements towards adaptation. Women are typically under-represented in decision making on home construction and planning and home-design decisions in informal settlements, but examples from Bangladesh show they play a significant role in adopting climate-resilient measures  .
