Source: Overseas Development Institute (ODI). Published: 4/2019. Intersectional approaches recognize that people will have different identities, needs, priorities, and capacities that are not static, and will shift and change over time – affecting their ability to prepare for, cope with, and respond to natural hazards and climate variability. This scoping paper explores intersectional approaches to vulnerability reduction and resilience-building, and how natural hazards, including those influenced by climate change, expose existing inequalities. Those facing the greatest risks include people with disabilities, women, children, older persons, minority and indigenous groups, LGBTQIA, people with chronic health conditions, and others who are contextually marginalized.
