Faced with the pressing challenges of poverty, climate change and disasters, identifying opportunities for interventions that offer positive outcomes across the trifecta of development, adaptation and disaster risk reduction is critically needed. While the overlaps between these streams can be straightforward in theory, practical opportunities for convergence are often lacking. Drawing on 10 focus groups with women market vendors who are part of the UN Women's Markets for Change programme in Vanuatu, this paper explores how markets as places can be useful entry points for this trifecta. Marketplaces can be important sites for developing capabilities and empowering women. As transient and interactive spaces, marketplaces also have inherent strengths that can be built upon and utilised to heighten intervention reach and foster positive outcomes across the development‐adaptation‐disaster trifecta. This paper encourages further exploration into the capacity of marketplaces to achieve this trifecta of outcomes across various scales and locations, and to find solutions to existing challenges.

市场作为发展，适应，灾难三重奏的站点：瓦努阿图的见解

面对贫困，气候变化和灾害的紧迫挑战，迫切需要确定各种干预措施的机会，这些措施应在发展，适应和减少灾害风险三方面取得积极成果。尽管这些流之间的重叠在理论上可以很简单，但通常缺少实现融合的实际机会。本文是瓦努阿图联合国妇女变革市场计划的一部分，与妇女市场供应商组成的10个焦点小组进行了探讨，探讨了市场如何作为地方可能是此三连胜的有用切入点。市场可以成为发展能力和增强妇女权能的重要场所。作为瞬态和交互空间，市场还具有内在的优势，可以利用这些优势来扩大干预范围，并在整个发展-适应-灾难三重奏中取得积极成果。本文鼓励进一步探索市场的能力，以在各种规模和位置实现这种三重效果，并找到解决现有挑战的方法。
