世界各地的地方政府正在制定不同的方法来应对气候变化。然而，传统的适应办法通常以支离破碎的方式处理历史上边缘化居民复杂和重叠的脆弱性，即使这些计划的首要目标是伸张正义。作为回应，我们提出了气候适应研究和实践的交叉支点，以分析导致城市脆弱性的社会-环境不公平的相互关联的形式，为更具体和更综合的战略铺平道路，公正的城市适应和转型。本文结合叙述和分析审查方法，提出了一个新的概念框架，强调需要(1)解决种族和性别不平等的潜在强化因素；(2)纠正不同脆弱性的驱动因素；(3)认真对待关爱的政治和伦理；(4)采取基于地点和创造地点的方法；以及(5)促进跨身份形式的激进主义和社区复原力建设。我们用西班牙巴塞罗那正在进行的项目的例子来说明这一框架，西班牙是气候行动中跨部门思维和正义驱动原则的早期采用者。尽管许多倡议处于试点阶段，并不完全侧重于气候适应，但巴塞罗那的经验确实为能够解决多种交织的社会-环境不平等问题的创新和综合办法提供了说明性的指导方针。
Local governments around the world are formulating different ways to address climate change. However, the compounding and overlapping vulnerabilities of historically marginalized residents are commonly tackled in a fragmented manner by conventional adaptation approaches, even when justice is presented as an overarching goal of these plans. In response, we propose an intersectional pivot in climate adaptation research and practice to analyze the interconnected forms of social-environmental injustices that drive vulnerabilities in cities, paving the way for more concrete and integrated strategies of just urban adaptation and transformation. This paper brings together narrative and analytical review methodologies to inform a new conceptual framework that highlights the need to (1) tackle underlying reinforcers of racial and gender inequalities; (2) redress drivers of differential vulnerabilities; (3) take politics and ethics of care seriously; (4) adopt place-based and place-making approaches; and (5) promote cross-identity forms of activism and community resilience building. We illustrate the framework with examples of ongoing projects in Barcelona, Spain, which is an early adopter of intersectional thinking and justice-driven principles in climate action. Although many initiatives are in a pilot phase and do not all exclusively focus on climate adaptation, experiences from Barcelona do provide illustrative directionality for innovative and integrated approaches that can address multiple and intersecting social-environmental inequities.
