Does unequal climate protection undermine community resilience?
I live in a coastal town where rising tides have already flooded Main Street twice this year, yet our local government keeps approving new beachfront developments. Climate change adaptation means building resilience for the entire community, but million-dollar sea walls funded by taxpayers often protect only the wealthy enclaves. Does that unequal protection of property and people undermine the whole argument that we are all in this together?
