The climate refuge as grounds for adaptation: Promises and pitfalls in an early adopter city, Worcester, MA
The concept of the climate refuge has been widely contested, with many arguing that it does more harm than good. A case study of Worcester, Massachusetts, an early adopter of the climate refuge label, evaluates this assumption. Interviews with key informants in city government, community-based organizations, and non-profits and analysis of planning documents reveal that the concept of the climate refuge can serve as a premise for adaptation. This…
Short of disarmament: Towards a climate-responsible military despite geopolitical tensions
Integration as Adaptation: Advancing Research and Practice for Inclusive Climate Receiving Communities
Problem, research strategy, and findings Despite early focus on the Global South, it has become clear that the Global North will be transformed through climate-related internal relocation as well. In North America, highly visible disasters have already caused populations to relocate, but historically, larger scale migration has occurred in response to longer term climatic shifts. As relocation to destinations spanning small towns to metropolitan …
Making embodied carbon mainstream: A framework for cities to leverage waste, equity, and preservation policy to reduce embodied emissions in buildings
With anticipation building around embodied carbon as a “new frontier” of climate policy, it may appear that cities need to develop a whole suite of dedicated institutions and mechanisms to support its implementation. However, to do so risks placing an undue burden on already overstretched local and regional governments. Instead, embodied carbon policy can build on existing priorities that already galvanize resources and attention and have benefit…
Anchor Institutions as Adaptation Allies: Promises and pitfalls of joint urban/military adaptation planning in U.S. cities
Equity Impacts of Urban Land Use Planning for Climate Adaptation: Critical Perspectives from the Global North and South
A growing number of cities are preparing for climate change impacts by developing adaptation plans. However, little is known about how these plans and their implementation affect the vulnerability of the urban poor. We critically assess initiatives in eight cities worldwide and find that land use planning for climate adaptation can exacerbate socio-spatial inequalities across diverse developmental and environmental conditions. We argue that urban…
