✍ Today, we're publishing a new policy memo to support proactive, justice-centered climate-driven relocation in U.S. coastal cities. In the face of worsening climate impacts like sea level rise, erosion, and storm surge, the intentional movement of people away from climate-vulnerable areas to more resilient neighborhoods will be necessary to provide lasting safety for coastal residents. By leveraging federal resources and working directly with impacted communities, coastal cities have an opportunity to shape an equitable and innovative national framework for climate-driven relocation. The principles and recommendations in our memo will help ensure the wellbeing of communities who will need to leave the floodplain in the decades to come. Read it here: https://lnkd.in/dpgbmD9u

In 2023 alone, more than 3 MILLION people were displaced by natural disasters. For a sense of scale, that is like the entire Mississippi, Kansas, or Arkansas populations moving to a different state. Of these disasters, 45% were from hurricanes and 23% by floods. As these and other climate impacts intensify, we must begin planning for the intentional relocation of people away from climate-vulnerable areas to more resilient and stable neighborhoods. Our friends at the Urban Ocean Lab have outlined recommendations to help coastal cities ensure that future relocation processes are equitable and provide lasting safety for their residents.
