Abstract

Climate change and its related impacts are fast becoming the dominant force in the housing market. The fundamental role that housing plays in people's lives makes these effects particularly pernicious, often impacting employment, school attendance, undermining physical and mental health, disrupting social networks, and contributing to food insecurity. The complexity of addressing these issues is compounded by the cyclical and reciprocal relationships among these factors, with housing inequalities frequently lying at the core and climate change impacts percolating throughout. I introduce the framework of acute, secondary, and pre‐emptive/reactive impacts to help understand these mechanisms. To understand and contextualize these connections, I provide a brief overview racial segregation in the United States and related inequalities that place some individuals, groups, and communities at greater risk. Other key sources of housing instability in the United States that are often closely related to housing segregation include lack of affordable housing, growing income inequality, housing discrimination, evictions, and foreclosures, all of which contribute to unequal housing outcomes. These factors are explored using the temporal framework to discuss their connection to climate change, which is in and of itself a major force of housing instability.

暴风雨中的庇护所:气候变化对美国住房的威胁与日俱增
气候变化及其相关影响正迅速成为住房市场的主导力量。住房在人们生活中扮演的基本角色使得这些影响尤为恶劣,通常会影响就业和入学,破坏身心健康,扰乱社会网络,并导致粮食不安全。解决这些问题的复杂性因这些因素之间循环往复的关系而变得更加复杂,住房不平等往往是核心问题,而气候变化的影响则贯穿始终。我引入了急性、次要和先发制人/反应性影响的框架,以帮助理解这些机制。为了理解这些联系并将其与背景联系起来,我简要概述了美国的种族隔离以及相关的不平等现象,这些现象使一些个人、群体和社区面临更大的风险。美国住房不稳定的其他主要来源通常与住房隔离密切相关,包括缺乏负担得起的住房、收入不平等加剧、住房歧视、驱逐和取消赎回权,所有这些都会导致不平等的住房结果。我们利用时间框架探讨了这些因素,讨论了它们与气候变化的联系,气候变化本身就是造成住房不稳定的主要因素。
