4/ But we still need to recognise that:
- Different worldviews can clash in the planning process and make adaptation fail
- We need to call out non-critical frameworks and approaches to researching and implementing adaptation
- People who work on adaptation need to take a broader perspective

3/ And research now largely acknowledges that:
- adaptation is not about climate change but about rethinking development/planning
- we need an intersectional, decolonised approach
- adaptation itself is an imposed concept that can also serve to remove people's agency, assets, and integrity...

2/ Adaptation research and practice can no longer be described as the black sheep of climate change because we now have a solid 15 years of action. However:
- much of it is still very far from being effective
- there is still a huge need for adaptation everywhere
- there is a massive lack of funding
