What's driving the global housing crisis (and how to fix it)

Climate change is contributing to rising housing prices, changing what areas are desirable and how we protect our homes. Disasters such as fires and flooding are becoming more frequent because human activity is warming the atmosphere and the oceans. In the midst of a housing affordability crisis, here’s how climate helps fuel gentrification, and what we can do about it.
