description Kolmes et al discuss the fates of those who attempt to claim refugee status due to events they ascribe to climate change. The ways that discussions of people who leave their homes en masse are framed are complicated. The United Nations' (UN's) relevant legally protected category for those leaving their homes has been "Refugee" since 1951. As a unique legal protection has been tied to the "Refugee" category, we focus on the result of people's appeals that they attain this category. The fate of people fleeing the impacts of climate change has been identified by many organizations as a forthcoming humanitarian crisis. For both ethical and practical reasons, the international community cannot afford to ignore the fact that the planet is being changed by people's actions, and that climate change and response and attitude toward the consequences will produce the greatest humanitarian challenge of the next century.
