Climate Evictions

05/05/21

“How will climate impacts lead to an increase in evictions?”

Climate change is going to make areas less fit for human habitation. This effect will be seen evenly, with some places losing habitability faster than others. Since some areas will become more desirable to live in face of this, there will be more demand to live in these places by wealthy people. If nothing is done to stop this, a wave of Climate Evictions will occur displacing lower-income and oppressed people living in climate safe areas.
