Description
In Western countries, a common narrative has developed that only poor or developing nations will have to confront human displacement caused by climate change.

This episode features a discussion on the U.S. government’s responses to internal displacement, with Kavi Chintam and Chris Jackson, co-authors of an Issues in Science and Technology article analyzing the approach to managed retreat.
