Climate Change effects on long term REI (20+ years)

[Tyler L.]

I’m just starting out in REI, but I’m young enough where if I’m lucky my career can be another 50 years. Over this timeline, climate change is a huge concern. I’ve already more or less ruled out coastal cities for flooding, but most markets seem to have long term issues facing them. The south and east will have heatwaves, the midwest will have huge droughts, etc. Of course, people always need space to live and work. But I’m curious what people think of the long term effects of climate change will be on REI, which markets will benefit the most, and which ones will hurt the most.
