Dimension of intersectionality	Guiding questions applied to code the articles
Intersecting categories	1. Which social categories where included in the vulnerability analysis? 2. Was the intersection of different social and cultural factors in vulnerability dynamics and power relations considered?
Multilevel analysis	3. Did the analysis include vulnerability impacts and dynamics affecting institutions and relationships across various levels of society? 4. Did the vulnerability analysis include intra-community and intra-household inequities?
Power	5. How was power framed in the papers? 6. Did the paper analyse how power and inequity are produced, reproduced and actively resisted (Hankivsky 2012)? 7. Did the paper analyse how climate change adaptation processes shape power relations with reference to social determinants (gender, class, race, etc.)?
Emancipation patterns, agency and resistance	8. Are they results from case studies that document changes in power relations and social structures associated with environmental change and the social process of adaptation to it? 9. Whether, and to what extent, do adaptation processes reinforce or challenge hierarchical, unequal social structures? 10. Did the paper refer only to vulnerability or did it include references to agency across and beyond existing social categories? 11. Did the paper identify any changes challenging the dynamics of gender, ethnicity, caste, age, etc.? 12. Did the results of the paper include evidence of resistance towards social norms?
