Renter Flood Insurance
12/21/21
“How can flood insurance work for renters?”
Renters are prone to floods if they live in flood-prone areas. If these do occur, then their possessions can become damaged and even destroyed, along with the building becoming uninhabitable. To ensure that not too much loss occurs, renters can purchase flood insurance that can pay for any damages that occurred. Renter Flood Insurance is powerful and needs to be distributed more widely.
Anticipating Lost Tax Revenue as a Result of Climate Displacement
12/19/21
“How can we anticipate lost tax revenue in the future as a result of climate displacement?”
Certain cities are going to lose population as a result of climate displacement. This will lead said cities to have lower populations and in turn, less money to collect through taxes. To brace for this, towns should look into Anticipating Lost Tax Revenue as a Result of Climate Displacement. This can be accomplished through methods ranging from economic forecasts to historical demographic reviews of cities that have experienced depopulation from natural disasters.
Why Climate Change Will Lead to More Alcoholism

“Why will climate change lead to more alcoholism?”
Climate change is going to lead to more stress which will lead to more depression which will lead to more alcoholism. This is Why Climate Change Will Lead to More Alcoholism.
Why Climate Change Will Cause More Deaths From Sickness
12/16/21
“Why will climate change cause more deaths from sickness?”
Climate change is going to make pathogens transmit faster and deadlier. This will cause people to get sick and die more often. This is Why Climate Change Will Cause More Deaths From Sickness.
Documenting Climate Journeys
12/15/21
“Why is documenting climate journeys so important?”
Climate change is going to force people to move in entirely new ways. To help future emigrants make this same move, it is important to look into Documenting Climate Journeys.
International Climate Migration Agreements
12/14/21
“How can different governments create climate migration agreements?”
Some countries will not be able to support all of the climate migrants that arise from disasters within their own borders. To help give these people a new home, they can create International Climate Migration Agreements with other governments to enact a safe and orderly transition of communities.
Why Banning Single-Family Housing on the National Scale Would Motivate More Sustainable Living
12/13/21
“Why would banning single-family housing on the national scale motivate more sustainable living?”
Single-family housing leads to urban sprawl, resource waste, and inefficient disaster aid policies. If construction of single-family homes were banned at the national scale, then it would push housing developers to build more sustainable dense units.
Climate Resilient Prefabricated Housing
12/12/21
“How can we implement climate-resilient prefabricated housing?”
More and more prefabricated housing will need to get built so climate migrants can get shelter. However, to make sure that they can stay well during further climate impacts, governments and developers will need to look into Climate Resilient Prefabricated Housing. These designs can range from elevated housing to insulate from floods to homes made out of fireproof materials to protect against wildfires.
Anticipating Migration From Drought
12/11/21
“How can we anticipate migration due to drought?”
Drought can leave entire communities without a source of water. This can force people to migrate to new places in search of a better life. To accommodate these people who might move, governments can look into predicting drought and anticipating mass migration before it happens. This is why Anticipating Migration From Drought is so important.
