This paper explores current trends in understanding, prioritizing, and implementing just resilience in research and policy, emphasizing justice and equity in climate adaptation and resilience. It aims to provide practical guidance for practitioners, highlight underrepresented perspectives from the global south, and inform a global just resilience agenda by addressing social, structural, and geographical drivers of vulnerability and showcasing examples of equitable adaptation strategies.

This paper's key messages include the following:

• Just resilience is an emerging point on the policy agenda dealing with the unequal burdens of climate change impacts on people and places, and the potential for adaptation action to create winners and losers.
• The impacts of climate change interact with preexisting structural inequities, such as those based on wealth, unequal opportunities, power dynamics, age, health, education, political capacity, gender and ethnicity.
• Higher-income countries, with Canada, Australia, and European countries at the forefront, alongside South Africa, have led the mainstreaming of justice issues into adaptation and climate resilience strategies.
