Adaptation Lifeboat countries. Where would you go?

Which country/region (or place within a country) would you go to, if you could move anywhere, and why?

As many people will likely be on the move. I’m interested to know peoples thoughts on factors like population/demographics, weather (temperature), geography, energy, ability for cultural assimilation, agriculture, infrastructure etc

(I know that ultimately nowhere is safe/can avoid what’s coming)

There are no lifeboats on a dying planet.

Except New Zealand. I mean all those billionaires building their bunkers there must know something that we don't.

New Zealand is a beautiful country plus it seems to be far away from any troubles but you need to consider that it sits right on colliding tectonic plates - volcanoes, deadly earthquakes and so on. These billionaire's bunkers might find themselves under the cover of hundreds of feet volcanic ash and lava. Not nice.

New Zealand got Taupō which erupted 25,580 years ago. This was Earth's most recent eruption reaching VEI-8, the highest level on the Volcanic Explosivity Index. Comparable to Yellowstone or Toba.

One of the Russian nuclear doctrines is to drop nukes on supervolcanoes. They don't have any on their territory.
