Cities, Climate and Inequalities - The state of knowledge on inequality associated with climate change adaptation solutions
By Émily Després
Faced with the impacts of climate change, a number of actors are already actively implementing adaptation solutions.

Studies of the impacts associated with these initiatives have received little attention. As a result, the negative impacts identified are rarely considered.
