PEMOCC SW Breakout Session 2 by Karina Alvarez https://padlet.com/karinaa91/3f7xq1vczzila15w Breakout Room 3 en-us 2022-09-27 14:45:12 UTC 2026-01-20 09:42:41 UTC hello@padlet.com Fragmentation https://padlet.com/karinaa91/3f7xq1vczzila15w/wish/2317926429 The biggest impact I can see is the fragmentation or event extinction of a community. Along with this would the destruction of livelihoods associated with the community. We saw this in Katrina and we also see this happening in slow motion in the US Pacific Islands as the climate changes the ocean and its food web.

Far too often in discussions of offshore wind, I hear how we need to consider the concerns of wealthy homeowners on the shore and their desire to have a beautiful view. This ignores those affected by climate change due to fossil fuels in other areas. ]]> 2022-09-28 17:10:37 UTC https://padlet.com/karinaa91/3f7xq1vczzila15w/wish/2317930424 Current policies and practices typically rely on competitive funding that pits communities against each other (e.g., Isle de Jean Charles, LA, and Newtok, AK in HUD's NDRC), and then divides people up further in the process of implementation (see Nathan Jessee's Journal of Political Ecology article on IDJC - how the state redefined eligible "community" in ways that departed from the understanding of Tribal members and excluded many from participating in the resettlement project, undermining tribal sovereignty and the cultural survival aims of the initial project/plan) https://padlet.com/karinaa91/3f7xq1vczzila15w/wish/2317934240 2022-09-28 17:12:55 UTC https://padlet.com/karinaa91/3f7xq1vczzila15w/wish/2317934240 https://padlet.com/karinaa91/3f7xq1vczzila15w/wish/2317934508 I know here in CA a lot of communities and their leaders are so resistant to even talk about managed retreat because it will decimate their tax base. But then it may lead to unmanaged retreat if we keep procrastinate, which is what we are seeing in other places around the country, where community members are wanting buyouts]]> 2022-09-28 17:13:04 UTC https://padlet.com/karinaa91/3f7xq1vczzila15w/wish/2317934508 In addition to answering the question "where does a relocated community *go*?" and "how do we keep a community intact?," other questions include: how do we make sure the people who are relocated continue to have jobs, access to schools, etc? https://padlet.com/karinaa91/3f7xq1vczzila15w/wish/2317935617 2022-09-28 17:13:38 UTC https://padlet.com/karinaa91/3f7xq1vczzila15w/wish/2317935617 https://padlet.com/karinaa91/3f7xq1vczzila15w/wish/2317936669 What role can non-planners and non-climate scientists play vis-a-vis managed retreat to support such work?]]> 2022-09-28 17:14:17 UTC https://padlet.com/karinaa91/3f7xq1vczzila15w/wish/2317936669 https://padlet.com/karinaa91/3f7xq1vczzila15w/wish/2317941733 What relationship do *renters* have to buyouts as one managed retreat strategy?]]> 2022-09-28 17:17:22 UTC https://padlet.com/karinaa91/3f7xq1vczzila15w/wish/2317941733 https://padlet.com/karinaa91/3f7xq1vczzila15w/wish/2317944763 How can managed retreat and buyouts actually be done in a way to make space for natural infrastructure to build resilience for the broader community just behind. Right now buyouts have been done more patchwork with little thought to future land use]]> 2022-09-28 17:19:05 UTC https://padlet.com/karinaa91/3f7xq1vczzila15w/wish/2317944763 We need much more data on what happens to renters, people in informal living situations (off the books rentals, etc.), and people in situations of divided tenure, like mobile home parks. https://padlet.com/karinaa91/3f7xq1vczzila15w/wish/2317944790 2022-09-28 17:19:06 UTC https://padlet.com/karinaa91/3f7xq1vczzila15w/wish/2317944790
