... . Relocation: the intentional and coordinated movement of people, assets, and/or infrastructure away from threats of sea level rise, climate-driven floods, and more; for the purpose of this report, relocation is synonymous with managed retreat.  Sustainable development: as defined in the Brundtland Commission report, "development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs." It encompasses the pathways and processes necessary to achieve sustainability (World Commission on Environment and Development, 1987)
