In dominant approaches to climate adaptation in cities, the focus tends to be strategic physical infrastructure and the protection of the built environment from climate hazards, while the underlying drivers of social vulnerabilities and related affects remain largely unaddressed (Long and Rice 2021, Nightingale et al. 2022, Van Neste et al. 2025). Broad equity goals in urban policies most often lack commitments and actionable goals, and responsabilities to adapt are transferrred to individuals (Bee et al.2015, Hamstead 2023). Many critical issues and intersections remain overlooked, even taugh they are central the experience of worsening living conditions, and to the responses of neighborhood community groups. These include how climate change exacerbates existing forms of precarity (e.g., food and housing insecurity), and how unequal access to social infrastructure plays a key role in amplyfing inequalities in the face of climate. How can we promote an ethics of care and a deep commitment to intersectional equity in climate adaptation practices? In our Climate Equity Lab, we aim to co-create tools that center community experiences and knowledge in addressing intersectional precarity (Ranganathan and Bratman, Hamstead 2023), and promote a lens of an ethics of care (Bond and Barth 2020, Tronto 2017, 2013). We are gathering insights from scientific, grey literature, grassroots tools and community-based research, on intersectional approaches to just climate adaptation and social infrastructure (the recognition of their crucial role (and differentiated experiences) of). In this communication, we will reflect on our first steps, the challenges we’ve encountered and those we ancitipate in this conversation between feminist approaches and the field of climate adaptation, as well as our coproduction context and process with community actors in Quebec.
