- Beyond adaptive capacity: Assessing how power relations shape household responses to climate impacts on water and sanitation (2026) · PLOS Climate · doi
With gender inequal- ities likely to be exacerbated by climate change impacts on water, our findings point to the need for further research on the power relations that govern outcomes of water-related adaptation, such as household bargaining over adaptation resources, negotiations and social norms that determine who takes on additional water-related work, and who has a say in how the climate resilience of WASH services are developed.

Evidence on how social conditions influence household vulnerability to unreliable water supplies in the Upper Zambezi River Basin remains limited. There is a need to understand the vulnerabilities and adaptive capacities of rural communities to climate change impacts on water supply.
