Kelsea Best

Kelsea Best, an assistant professor at The Ohio State University specializing in climate impacts and adaptations, joins the discussion about migration and displacement amid climate change. She explores how climate-induced events cause both voluntary and forced relocations, sharing insights from regions like coastal Bangladesh and Hurricane Katrina. The role of place attachment in post-disaster decisions offers a poignant view of emotional ties to home. Best also addresses the urgent need for equitable adaptation strategies, especially for marginalized communities facing the brunt of climate crises.
