Several cities and neighborhoods in the United States are experiencing
climate gentrification – the process in which wealthier people move to
areas less impacted by climate change. Often as a result, disadvantaged
residents are priced out of their neighborhoods due to rising property
values, taxes, rents, and other economic factors. POLITICO’s Gloria
Gonzalez breaks down what’s driving this trend and how activists and
local politicians are fighting back. Plus, French President Emmanuel
Macron is calling to revamp the international taxation system to finance
climate efforts.
