Can floating homes make coastal communities resilient to climate risks?
Briefly

Sea levels are rising rapidly, with a projected increase of at least 1 meter by 2100, exposing nearly one billion residents in coastal areas to significant risks.
Critics argue that proposed 'climatopias' are merely technological fantasies. However, with careful and inclusive planning, such developments can serve as viable solutions to climate adaptation.
It is vital for various stakeholders to assess the benefits and challenges of climatopias critically, ensuring that such projects are rooted in justice and sustainability.
The design type, practicality, ecological impacts, risk of maladaptation, equity considerations, and regulatory frameworks are essential to evaluate before implementing climatopias.
