There is a small but burgeoning academic literature on managed relocation from environmental hazards related to climate change impacts (e.g., sea level rise, increased storm surges, etc.). Though much attention is currently being given to “types of buyouts” that may or may not be effective in community/resident relocation, there is a paucity of research on the destination communities of residents that relocate due to climate change impacts. Sociologists are very well-suited to better understand the complex processes involved in managed community relocations (“buyouts”), in terms of both the original and destination communities. For example, the importance of social bonds in many climate change-impacted communities, as well as the economic, racial, and cultural dimensions of a community, will play powerful roles in where and how people relocate, as well as the success of those transitions. Further, this provides ample opportunities for sociologists to help address long-standing environmental inequalities through a structured, intentional approach at undoing inequality through just managed relocation and community planning.
