- Court of Appeal
The Tribunal correctly applied Article 1A(2) and s129: climate change effects that are general and affect the population indiscriminately do not constitute persecution for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion; therefore the applicant does not qualify as a refugee and leave to appeal is refused.
