Climate change is determining where we live, limiting access to affordable healthy housing, food choices, and transportation, forcing the displacement of individuals and communities. This report examines the intersections between climate change and displacement pressures and recommends integrating climate change into the design and building of new housing, promoting urban agriculture and community gardens, and relocation sites in the event of flooding and rising sea levels.
