When sea levels rise, so does your rent

With sea levels rising around the globe, Miami is facing an urgent need to adapt.

As property investors turn their gaze inland, away from the exclusive low-lying beach area, residents in one poorer neighbourhood further above sea level say rising rents are pricing them out of their homes.

Located just five miles away from the luxurious Miami Beach, Little Haiti is home to a majority black population and has been under threat of gentrification for some time.

Housing campaigner Renita Holmes works to build a more resilient future for her and her neighbours.

"It's a beautiful place, and developers are selling this tropical lifestyle," she says. "So, they build up and we get moved out."
