I think there is something to finding creative technological solutions. It seems unkind and impractical to ask people to avoid such regions or not live there. People have histories, communities and culture. It can be abandoned in a time of need, but displacement can create trauma, which may have multigenerational effects. I don't study climate science or climate justice, but my bet is that those who can take these environmental threats and instead turn them into a boon, e.g. a new manufacturing technique that reduces carbon emissions or optimizes carbon sequestering for energy production, will have something everyone will want.

OTEC can also produce large amounts of salt-free water" ... heck I read all the stuff written here and am thinking now 'someone may have patents for that...' (-;
