In the wake of recent hurricanes that have caused catastrophic damage in Asheville, North Carolina — an area often labeled as a “climate haven” — Dean Cinnamon Carlarne of Albany Law School emphasizes the misconception of climate-proof locations. In a letter to the editor in The New York Times, she writes “Climate havens don’t exist just by virtue of location.” Geographic advantage alone is insufficient; true climate havens actively plan for and build resilience against the growing threats of climate change through risk awareness and community-wide resilience strategies.
