Ioane Teitiota and his wife fought for years to be allowed to stay in New Zealand as refugees, arguing that rising sea levels caused by global warming threaten the very existence of their tiny Pacific nation of Kiribati, one of the lowest lying countries on Earth.Richard Vogel/APShow MoreShow Less
2of5FILE - In this March 28, 2021, file photo, Carlos Enrique Linga and his daughter Betty Noemi talk to a reporter at Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church in Mission, Texas, on Palm Sunday. No nation offers asylum or other legal protections to people displaced specifically because of climate change, but the Biden administration is studying the idea. Linga traveled to the U.S. border with his 5-year-old daughter after rains from back-to-back hurricanes caused landslides and flooding that destroyed more than 60,000 homes in Guatemala alone, including Linga's farm and home.Dario Lopez-Mills/APShow MoreShow Less
