A second United Nations appeal is set to be filed for a Kiribati man who unsuccessfully battled to become New Zealand's first climate change refugee.
Ioane Teitiota, 39, was deported in September after a long court battle to stay in the country.
He argued for years that his family's health would be at risk if they returned to Kiribati, which is endangered by rising sea levels and water supplies contaminated by salt and sewage.
