"Environmental defenders", even of low skill and contribution level are now going to be the new American refugee based on climate change belief/activism?

A new White House report on the alleged links between climate change and migration opened the door to potentially giving refugee status to those who are classed as "climate activists" or "environmental defenders."
The "Report on the Impact of Climate Change on Migration" includes claims that "there is an interplay between climate change and various aspects of eligibility for refugee status."
It goes on to state that if a government that denies "relief from the impact of climate change to specific individuals who share a protected characteristic in a manner and to a degree amounting to persecution" then that could open such people to refugee status.
It also states that "adverse impacts of climate change" could affect whether someone has a viable relocation alternative within their own country.
