Moving away from danger is the best simple personal strategy any of us has.

It's harder to be confident in picking out what places are relatively safe to move to.

It's not impossible, but it does involve some acceptance of uncertainty and some evidence-based guesswork.

Im afraid if the development/migration happens only organically then we get more of the same housing crisis, NIMBY, inequality, excessive pollution, nature destruction, etc etc fromthe typical rapid and not thoughtful development we see too often

Shouldn't recievers have a playbook or set of scenarios for how they should act if they want to become good 'havens'? There are some things they likely should be doing to prepare and be a source of competitiveness / attractiveness. Not to mention we will need these places to be more successful

Once the project gets more up and running it would be great if we could connect somehow. We aim to engage many in the adaptation space to collectively address what good climate haven development would look like and the potential scenarios to get there.

Great article. On the flip side, soon to kick off research with Andy Hoffman from UMich on building out a policy framework for climate haven development. Hypothesis is trying to point future development towards relatively safer places for long term. Know you dont like the term but havent seen better
