In wealthy countries, the looming climate crisis is a matter of concern, as it will affect the wellbeing of the economy. But in Africa, which is hardly contributing to climate change in the first place, it will be a matter of life and death.

it is likely that spatially-correlated wildland amenities (e.g. tree cover, views, and access to recreational opportunities) make properties in high wildfire hazard areas desirable for higher income households. Our findings suggest that, overall, households in wildfire hazard areas are more likely to be pulled to live in these areas by these amenities, rather than to be pushed to live in outlying wildfire hazard areas by affordability concerns. This finding is similar to those from the environmental justice literature on exposure to flood hazards, which finds high amenity coastal areas may be relatively high income, sometimes in spite of high hazard.
