Environmental refugees do not fit asylum stipulations that they suffered persecution or live in fear of future persecution (Berchin et al.). This lack of recognition prevents them from gaining refugee status when crossing borders into a new country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"624\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/lh7-us.googleusercontent.com\/uCnFOu-0xzaz-4yHhE2drbMuc-yAeXx8qMV_XlJEEDg5WX1N8MFfUSGK2K7rJfkJmMGgveCI4bGZclTgy661I3_BrfrIXv0veiBwMpGQIsz5XGnza66G5jlnQyNK4bP3sNM7ynf937FUpZzMzYMFMQY\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">                   Source:<em> <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.elevatelimited.com\/insights\/newsletters\/do-you-know-a-climate-refugee-you-will\/\"><em>Elevate<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Coerced Migration<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The environmentally displaced increasingly need help finding habitable places to live. In many cases, the environmentally displaced live on small islands, such as Haiti, Barbados, and Singapore, which among are the most vulnerable to climate change due to the rapidly rising water levels and increasingly severe storms (Berchin et al.).&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As Rana G. Ksaifi, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) Assistant Chief of Mission in Libya described on a visit to Derna, Libya after severe flooding in the fall of 2023, the city was \u201cwashed away\u201d after two large dams burst due to heavy storms and rainfall. <strong><mark class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">30,000 people were displaced<\/mark> <\/strong>in Derna due to this extreme flooding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One woman she interviewed, Amal, recounted the evening of the flood:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u2018I woke up at around 2 a.m. to the noise of cars smashing into one another.

But I never made it.\u2019&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She never saw her three daughters again (Ksaifi 2023).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"624\" height=\"404\" src=\"https:\/\/lh7-us.googleusercontent.com\/ojbUqRUOL-jEf4LSrv45eYSZjZKmLqncYwhurQU8Z-HtnYVYISosXbfJ9SV319zVABeAZZkSttB4Ml7rHlr0KGoCafWEFpIa0k85egIp6-THsi6V9wLdzh0kr5-b5fMN_vMOUcMlDo569WwIeAXyoEM\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">                   Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unhcr.org\/us\/news\/stories\/survivors-find-strength-community-after-horror-derna-floods\">Al Houdiri, 2023.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another citizen of Derna recounted how she lost 21 members of her family that day (Ksaifi).&nbsp; Many of the families in Derna had to live in compounds specifically designated for flood victims. The damage escalated too fast for volunteers and UNHCR members to help. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many of the issues that these families experience go beyond a destroyed home; in the future, they will also need psychological help to cope with the severe mental damage that comes from losing your home, all personal belongings, and family members. Moreover, such low-lying areas remain vulnerable to future storms and flooding, due to climate change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These types of stories are echoed throughout affected countries and areas like the Gobi Desert in China, Morocco, and Tunisia. In these areas, locals are forced to relocate due to the severe drought that slowly diminishes the amount of farmable land (Boudreau, Diane, et al. 2024). Both the land where they live and their everyday lives of these people are impacted so they are forced to leave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What can we do?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The number of climate refugees continues to climb. Due to the rapidly changing climate, there will be an estimated <strong><mark class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">150 million total environmental refugees around the world by 2050<\/mark><\/strong> (Berchin, et al.). People that are currently living in stable countries and nations still have a long way to go in terms of helping these refugees and our world stay afloat. It is important to act quickly to reduce the impact of climate change by expanding legal categories of who counts as refugees. However, we need help from the government to assist these refugees through implementing helpful policies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">References<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ahmed Al Houdiri. 2023.
