This edited volume advances our understanding of climate relocation
(or planned retreat), an emerging topic in the fields of climate
adaptation and hazard risk, and provides a platform for alternative
voices and views on the subject. As the effects of climate change
become more severe and widespread, there is a growing conversation
about when, where and how people will move. Climate relocation is a
controversial adaptation strategy, yet the process can also offer
opportunity and hope. This collection grapples with the
environmental and social justice dimensions from multiple
perspectives, with cases drawn from Africa, Asia, Australia,
Oceania, South America, and North America. The contributions
throughout present unique perspectives, including community
organizations, adaptation practitioners, geographers, lawyers, and
landscape architects, reflecting on the potential harms and
opportunities of climate-induced relocation. Works of art, photos,
and quotes from flood survivors are also included, placed between
sections to remind the reader of the human element in the
adaptation debate. Blending art - photography, poetry, sculpture -
with practical reflections and scholarly analyses, this volume
provides new insights on a debate that touches us all: how we will
live in the future and where? Challenging readers' pre-conceptions
about planned retreat by juxtaposing different disciplines, lenses
and media, this book will be of great interest to students and
scholars of climate change, environmental migration and
displacement, and environmental justice and equity. The Open Access
