Mr. Teitiota, you are under arrest for overstaying in New Zealand. You must go back to Kiribati.
I can't go back to Kiribati. My family would suffer harm if we do so.We should be considered refugees.
Kiribati is among several low-lying Pacific nations threatened by climate change-linked problems. These include storm surges, flooding and water contamination.
Kiribati has a problem of combined pressures of over-population and rising sea levels. Mr.Teitiota would be persecuted passively by the circumstances there.

Your argument lacks credibility. You are not a refugee because you were not being persecuted.
