The MR2025 conference, hosted by the Columbia Climate School and others, brought together over 400 specialists to discuss climate change adaptation. Keynote speaker Carlos Alvarado Quesada emphasized Costa Rica's decarbonization strategies, while panel discussions highlighted managed retreat as a vital but insufficient response to climate mobility challenges, especially in the Global South. The conference showcased local climate action initiatives and innovative responses from urban areas to climate-induced displacement, shedding light on the importance of justice principles in climate policy and community resilience.
"The conference opened with a keynote from Carlos Alvarado Quesada, discussing Costa Rica's decarbonization strategies and lessons learned from Pacific island states."
"Managed retreat alone may not cover all climate mobility challenges, especially in Global South contexts, highlighting the need for a broader approach to these issues."
