Abstract
Planned, permanent relocation of coastal communities is a climate change adaptation strategy. This study assesses the effectiveness of relocation in reducing future coastal flooding risk for 17 global communities across three time points and three emissions scenarios. Most communities experienced exposure reduction, but the extent varied. Origin sites showed increasing inundation risk under high emissions, while nine destination sites also faced projected inundation. Small-island-to-small-island relocations showed less exposure reduction than other relocation types.
