'Humanity’s desire for hope is understandable, especially when the future looks threatening and anxiety provoking. Yet hope, to be genuine and lasting, requires firm foundations.'

Focusing on the challenges of adaptation, Boston’s insightful analysis assesses the scale of impact on communities, the need for robust policy for relocation, and the design of fair compensation schemes.
