Governments should consider relocation of slums in coastal areas as water levels rise and land begins to flood, leading to reduced property values. Governments should work with local communities and organizations to create resettlement strategies and build new homes for the occupants of these affected areas. Additionally, investing in improved housing conditions as well as creating economic opportunities may encourage inhabitants of slums to remain in their current location or relocate elsewhere rather than move to coastal areas where they could be vulnerable to displacement from climate events such as flooding or storm surge.

Yes, relocation of slums to coastal locations should begin as land value begins to fall due to climate change. Relocating slums provides an opportunity for improved housing and services, while avoiding the potential destruction from extreme weather events and rising ocean levels.
