This open access book examines the use of relocation and resettlement processes in the USA as a means of responding to climate change.  The authors argue that certain contradictions in the US property law diminish the usefulness of relocation as a successful strategy.  The book also considers the disproportionate effect that climate change and failures in US policy and property law have.

The authors examine the contradictions in order to understand why successful community-based resettlement has presented such a challenge to communities that are experiencing increasing land deterioration as a result of climate change.
