'We grew up here': in Réunion, demolitions in the name of coastal protection

AI justification

Demolition prioritizes environmental goals but violates housing rights and procedural fairness without mitigation. | The demolition enforces critical coastal protection measures (SDGs 13-15) but creates significant human costs by uprooting a family without addressing historical land tenure gaps. The tension between environmental imperatives and housing rights (UDHR 17/25) is stark, with procedural fairness concerns under UNDRIP further complicating the net ethical judgment.
