This chart from the latest IPCC report doesn't look favorably upon planned relocation and resettlement as a way to address climate change.

There is a push through the #PlaceInitiative, largely coming out of folks who happen to be #CNU members, to plan for climate refugees in cities with relatively low change of climate impacts. Andrés Duany was advocating for this instead of trying to reduce climate change last year at CNU. I thought it was monstrous of him & apparently the IPCC would too.
