Our climate changing future will produce winners and losers. The winners will be prepared and resilient. Both employees and employers will be attracted to the cites and zones of preparation and resiliency. Great point in the Environmental and Urban Economics blog:
"These climate challenges will accelerate as cities and firms learn from weather patterns and plan ahead. Those cities that do not plan (think of Atlanta and their "ice crisis") will pay the price in terms of brain drain if they are viewed as unable to handle short term shocks. Those cities that develop a reputation for being robust in the face of shocks will rise in the city quality of life rankings."
