This open access book explores the intersection of property law,
relocation, and resettlement processes in the United States and
among communities that grapple with migration as an adaptation
strategy. As communities face the prospect of relocating because of
rising seas, policy makers, disaster specialists, and community
leaders are scrambling to understand what adaptation pathways are
legally possible. While in its ideal application, law functions
blindly and without variation, the authors find that legal
contradictions come to bear on resettlement processes and place
certain communities further in harm’s way. This book will unearth
these contradictions in order to understand why successful
community-based resettlement has presented such a challenge to
communities that are experiencing land deterioration as a result of
climate change.
