Planned relocation and resettlement have low feasibility as climate responses . Previous disaster- and development-related relocation has been expensive, contentious, posed multiple challenges for governments and amplified existing, and generated new, vulnerabilities for the people involved . Planned relocation will be increasingly required as climate change undermines habitability, especially for coastal areas . Full participation of those affected, ensuring human rights-based approaches, preserving cultural, emotional and spiritual bonds to place, and dedicated governance structures and associated funding are associated with improved outcomes . Improving the feasibility of planned relocation and resettlement is a high priority for managing climate risks .
