The challenge of communicating about retreat or relocation is increasingly pressing for adaptation professionals working with and in communities faced with rising seas, frequent flooding, heat extremes, and wildfire risk. The leading question to date is about finding “the right words” to use, rather than taking a more comprehensive look at relocation and the human needs throughout that process – one complicated by underlying sociopolitical dynamics, local histories, racist legacies, people’s socioeconomic realities, attachments to place, and emotional responses to an overwhelming and seemingly intractable problem. This chapter sketches out the deeply human, psychological, and relational needs that need to be addressed in an effective communication strategy. Building on an extensive literature review and a generic discussion of communicative tasks in support of transformative change (Moser, 2019), this chapter applies this framework to relocation, drawing on what is known about perceptions, attitudes, opinions, and emotional responses to climate change impacts, to substantiate a more relational, culturally appropriate, and reparative approach to engaging communities facing climate-induced relocation.

A form evoking fire, harp music, and bones – Gratitude is constructed from a piece of marble the thickness of a tombstone. I extracted the stone from a dumpster outside the recently demolished Huntington Hartford Building on Columbus Circle in Manhattan, now the site of the Museum of Art & Design. The piece became a memorial to my mother, who died in 2008.
一个能唤起火焰、竖琴音乐和骨头的形状——感恩是由一块墓碑厚度的大理石建造的。我从曼哈顿哥伦布圆环(Columbus Circle)最近被拆除的亨廷顿哈特福德大厦(Huntington Hartford Building)外的一个垃圾箱里取出了这块石头，那里现在是艺术与设计博物馆(Museum of Art & Design)的所在地。我的母亲于2008年去世，这幅作品成为了她的纪念。

Using the example of the Strengthening Grantham Project (which saw the relocation of an Australian town to higher ground following a deadly flood event in 2011), this chapter seeks to shine a positive light on managed retreat functions when the needs of a community are prioritized. The Grantham project saw 120 homes relocated to higher ground through a land-swap initiative. By focusing on community needs, the success of the project continues to be evident as the town still thrives a decade after it was completed. Three key themes ensured its success: Vision, leadership, and communication. As climate adaptation continues to rise in its urgency and necessity, the Grantham project offers hope and inspiration that managed retreat should not be viewed as a negative option and that recovery – both physical and emotional – is possible, even when it occurs in a new place.

Essentially, marble is long-compressed limestone, which is stone formed of marine life. Seeing evidence of ocean life in the sediments of places now far from seashores extends an observer’s view into prehistoric geographies and time periods – forcing a truly long-term perspective.

Oceans are warming, sea level is rising, storms are intensifying, sunny-day floods are increasing, and coastal development is increasingly threatened. There are two long-term response choices: Move back from the threatened shoreline or hold the shoreline in place. For major low-lying cities, extensive hard structures (seawalls) could be justified to stem flooding. In suburban communities such as those on many barrier islands and floodplains, purposeful, coordinated, and planned managed retreat can be the answer to the threat of inundation. This will include physically moving buildings and infrastructure to higher ground, or abandonment and destruction of threatened buildings, leaving behind space designated for public use as natural space. This may even become a solution in large cities. In this chapter, a variety of policy mechanisms for such moves of people and buildings are discussed from examples around the world.
