Colleagues:
We published this today in the Washington Post's Monkey Cage:

In addition to the important subject of gender equity, the non-linear
relationship between economic growth and gender equity poses a challenge for
climate policy. Scholars note the importance of "soft" infrastructure for
climate change adaptation. This includes institutional capacity, social
resilience, equity, etc. Both wealth and equity contribute to resilience. But
what if wealth and equity move in opposite directions? How should they be
reconciled in the context of climate adaptation?
