What it takes to become a climate haven

SMART CITIES DIVE: What makes a place a genuine climate haven as opposed to simply a place that has fewer hazards than somewhere else?

During the interview process [for the research paper], someone said you could call some random place in Saskatchewan a climate haven, but there's no real economy there.

Just calling themselves a climate haven doesn't help.

And then water resilience — water scarcity issues or maybe too much water.

Is it fair to say climate haven is more of a process — something that needs to be actively worked on — than a geographic designation?
