Join us outside the Federal Court of Australia on Wednesday the 8th of November at 8.30am to show your support to Uncle Pabai and Uncle Paul, two community leaders from the Guda Maluyligal Nation in the Torres Strait who are launching a historic legal action against the Australian Government for its failure to adequately reduce emissions and protect their islands and culture from climate change.
People living in the Torres Strait are at serious risk of becoming Australia’s first climate refugees. Sea levels are rising each year flooding homes, community infrastructure, gardens and cemeteries. If emissions are not drastically reduced, and fast, people will be forced off their islands and their connection to Country, culture and identity will be severed forever.
