A Guardian analysis reveals that the Trump administration's immigration restrictions disproportionately affect citizens from countries most vulnerable to climate-driven disasters.

Of the 39 countries subject to full or partial entry bans, 22 rank among the most climate-vulnerable quarter of nations globally, according to the Notre Dame Global Adaptation Initiative.

Chad and Niger, the two most vulnerable countries, face complete bans. Sudan, Somalia, and Sierra Leone—also among the top ten most exposed—are similarly barred.

Evelyn, a Honduran who fled after Hurricane Mitch destroyed her home in 1998, now lives in New York. She laments that Trump's policies make it harder for others to escape similar fates.

The administration has also moved to terminate Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Honduras and 12 other countries, with the Supreme Court weighing appeals for Syria and Haiti.

Despite being the world's largest historical emitter of greenhouse gases, Trump dismisses climate change as a "hoax" and pushes for continued fossil fuel use.

Experts warn that climate-induced displacement is rising, but U.S. law does not recognize environmental disasters as grounds for asylum, leaving millions with no legal pathway to safety.
