| 11 | )))|(% style="width:730px" %)Distribution refers to the distribution of environmental goods and - bads across time, space and social groups. When, as a result of NBS interventions, the distribution turns out unfavourable for those already vulnerable, to the extent of resulting in displacement, then a process of environmental gentrification is taking place. It is characterised by the coming together of several trends, policies and (market) mechanisms and may or may not be the intention of those that initiated the NBS. NBS interventions, while contributing to climate change adaptation or mitigation, the resulting increased attractiveness of the area can also lead to (or strengthen existing trends of) land price increase, increases in rent or an increase in private owned homes versus social housing. This can result in displacement, whereby those displaced also miss out on the benefits that the enhance natural solutions offer (Kabisch et al 2016). Gentrification has in fact been described as an unintended consequence of environmental justice activism, whereby the push for sustainability has been such that it has for instance benefited real estate developers trying to increase the value of their properties at the cost of low-income residents that have been displaced. As such, NBS can result in a more inequitable distribution of goods and bads (Checker 2011). | ||
