by World Meteorological Organization. And it became a big issue in Earth Summit
Conference held in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil. This summit conducted the United
Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change 1992 focusing on climate
change and global warming effects on earth and human lives. But global were not
seriously responded about these issues. When in 2000s until now, climate change
and global warming effects is happening to all countries in the world. One of the
countries that significantly suffered due to climate change and global warming is
the Archipelagic State of Kiribati located in the Pacific Ocean. Archipelagic State
of Kiribati threatened to sink and is predicted to be the first country in the world to
relocate its residents to other countries.

particularly inhabitants of Archipelagic State of Kiribati threatened of being
relocated due to climate change and global warming is the main issue discussed in

protection is also discussed in this paper.
In finding the answer, this legal research explains the causes of climate
change and global warming, the international instruments related to climate change,
the legal basis of refugees and human rights particularly the rights of refugees, and
as well as discussion of the competent authorities to accommodate this issue.

Archipelagic State of Kiribati could not be categorized as �climate refugees�
because there is no legal instrument and also cannot be hold the status of �refugees�

Refugees 1951. Legal instruments such Kyoto Protocol 1997 considered not
