Episode Synopsis

In our first newly-recorded episode, Brynn, Aaron and Ali catch up on recent climate-related news, before doing a deep dive on the subject of “Managed Retreat”. This concept refers to the wrenching and complex decision that an entire community, town, or even major city may be forced to confront due to increasingly unmanageable climate risks: should we relocate? If so, how would they go about actually doing that? And who would have to pay for it?
