Description:In 2021, the Gulf Research Program (GRP)1 of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine sponsored a two-year consensus study, Managed Retreat in the U.S. Gulf Coast Region, to learn about and respond to the unique challenges associated with managed retreat. The Board on Environmental Change and Society in the Division of Social and Behavioral Sciences and Education convened a committee of experts to provide in-depth analysis and identify short- and long-term steps for Gulf Coast communities that may need to relocate. This study is part of the GRP’s interest in developing a research agenda for their future programming and relevant fields of study, such as those that address the complexities inherent in relocation as an adaptive strategy to climate change within and beyond the Gulf coast. As part of this study, the committee convened a series of three public workshops in 2022 in the Gulf Coast region to gather information for the consensus report.
