This sense of urgency has been emphasized for years, as exemplified in the 1990 <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/olibrown.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/2008-Migration-and-Climate-Change-IOM.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> (IPCC), where world leaders\u00a0 stated that global warming may affect human migration the most. The 1951 Geneva Convention defines a refugee as someone who has crossed an international boundary \u201cowing to well-founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion.\u201d No part of that statement includes refugees who are fleeing their nation because of environmental disasters caused by the effects of climate change.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The closest leaders have come to codifying the term \u2018environmental refugee\u2019 was in 2007, when the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/environmentalmigration.iom.int\/environmental-migration-1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">International Organization of Refugees<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> (IOM) created a loose term for environmental migrants; <\/span><b>\u201c<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Environmental migrants are persons or groups of persons who, predominantly for reasons of sudden or progressive change in the environment that adversely affects their lives or living conditions, are obliged to leave their habitual homes, or choose to do so, either temporarily or permanently, and who move either within their country or abroad\u201d . <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With scientific findings confirming that global temperatures are skyrocketing, there is still a widespread lack of recognition of climate change, which only exacerbates the number of displaced migrants.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Time is running out and there will not be an opportunity to go back. This humanitarian crisis will become uncontrollable unless politicians accept the fact that environmental refugees are as stateless as all other refugees. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Norman Myers of Oxford estimates that there will be 250 million environmental refugees by 2050. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Politicians and world leaders are turning their backs on these victims. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.internal-displacement.org\/global-report\/grid2020\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> calculated in 2019 that weather related disasters displaced approximately 24.9 million people. Climate-related displacements occur three times more than conflict displacement, at 8.5 million, throughout 2019. Within that statistic, 19.1 million of those displaced lived in Asia and the Pacific.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Bangladesh is both one of the most densely populated countries and is one of the most highly vulnerable to environmental disasters. As rising sea levels continue, millions of Bangladeshis will be displaced in the low-level river deltas. This was highlighted, according to the IDMC, by the 2020 monsoon that led to catastrophic flooding. Roughly <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">1.9 million people were displaced, and the<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.internal-displacement.org\/countries\/bangladesh.\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">IMDC<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> estimates that by 2050, 35 million Bangladeshis will become climate migrants . This is a climate crisis. Bangladesh is just one of many countries facing mass migration patterns that link directly to global warming.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The United States does not offer temporary safeguard to climate displaced refugees. The government has a moral obligation to extend this protection for refugees to account for all in need. The Biden Administration must incorporate environmental refugees into the current asylum agenda and system. Greenhouse gases will continue to be emitted into the atmosphere, sea levels will rise higher and wipe out towns, and air pollution will eventually suffocate healthy lungs if politicians continue to turn their heads. In order to mitigate mass migration, governmental administrations need to step up and create an aggressive, long-term solution to combat global warming, and protect millions of climate refugees.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Conflicts and instability have been driving forces for migration across the world for decades, but now global leaders must worry about climate change before it is too late.
