    what is climate migration?

    We’ve been warned by a season of wildfires in the West, hurricanes in the Southeast, and rising tides all along the coast. Climate change threatens cities and neighborhoods around the world, compelling millions to consider leaving these high-risk areas. A wave of migrations will create new challenges and opportunities for cities across North America and the planet, placing incalculable stress on financial markets, local governments, and communities. 


    So, how do we begin to have the difficult conversation around managed retreat away from coastlines, floodplains, and other high-risk areas?
