Climate Migration
January 28, 2020 — The Big Picture
For this Big Picture, presented by Jacobs, we hear from cities and regions preparing to receive an impending generation of climate migrants. The contributors envision what new, more resilient, and equitable districts might look like on higher ground, as we learn that not every risk can be mitigated.
