Strategies to address climate change can focus on the most economically developed countries and populations while bypassing the unique challenges of various stakeholders who are politically, socially and economically less fortunate. This panel discussed approaches that can be implemented to adapt to the impacts of climate change for Indigenous peoples, refugees, women, children, the elderly, people with disabilities and those living in island nations and in the Arctic. It also addressed possible mechanisms to fund payments for loss and damage already suffered by these and other groups and countries as a result of climate change.
