I will give a shout-out to my brilliant former student @kelseabest.bsky.social who's done a lot of good work quantfying inequities in vulnerability and adaptaiton along the Atlantic coast.

doi.org/10.1038/s414...
Disadvantaged populations, meaning those that have the fewest resources and least ability to adapt and respond, will experience the most severe effects of climate change. Such disadvantaged groups often include racial minorities, older populations, relatively low-income populations, and renters. An estimated 20 million coastal residents in the U.S. will be at risk of inundation due to sea level rise (SLR) and/or storm surges by 2030, yet there is less evidence of how multiple and cascading burdens of SLR that are beyond direct inundation will affect disadvantaged populations. We argue that concentrating solely on adaptation to the inundation effects of SLR neglects more complex burdens of SLR, such as the isolation of communities and individuals from essential services, that may interact with social vulnerability to reinforce structures of inequality.
