The climate-driven housing crisis, explained
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. Gloria Gonzalez is the Deputy Energy Editor at POLITICO Pro. Josh Siegel is a congressional energy reporter for POLITICO. Nirmal Mulaikal is a POLITICO audio host-producer. Alex Keeney is a senior audio producer at POLITICO.
