dc.description.abstract | A growing number of cities are preparing for climate change by developing adaptation plans, but little is known about how
these plans and their implementation affect the vulnerability of groups experiencing various forms of underlying social
inequity. This review synthesizes research exploring the justice and equity issues inherent in climate change adaptation
planning to lay the foundation for critical assessment of climate action plans from an equity perspective. The findings pre‐
sented illuminate the ways in which inequity in adaptation planning favours certain privileged groups while simultaneously
denying representation and resources to marginalized communities. The review reveals the specific ways inequity is expe‐
rienced by disadvantaged groups in the context of climate change and begins to unpack the relationship between social
inequity, vulnerability, and adaptation planning. This information provides the necessary background for future research
that examines whether, and to what extent, urban adaptation plans prioritize social vulnerability relative to economic and
environmental imperatives. | en |
