Housing and Climate Change

In recent years, natural disasters driven by climate change have led to increased residential instability and related housing challenges. In this webinar, experts Max Besbris of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Amy Chester of Rebuild by Design, Ivis Garcia of Texas A&M University, and James Elliott of Rice University describe how disasters in and around the United States and related recovery efforts can potentially worsen existing inequalities. The presenters also discuss the development of climate-resilient housing recovery and relocation policies designed to mitigate financial and social costs of climate-related disasters.
