The bosom of this land is our mother, and the water surrounding it is our father. We have to protect them, our islands our home”</strong><br /> 1015<strong>– Yessie Mosby, Zenadh Kes Masig man and claimant</strong></p></blockquote> 1016<p>Torres Strait Islanders are on the frontline of the climate crisis, and urgent action is needed to ensure they can remain on their Islands. King tides, erosion, inundation and coral bleaching are threatening the homes and cultures of Torres Strait Islander people, while the Australian Government refuses to address the climate crisis.</p> 1017<p>Our Islands Our Home is a campaign led by Torres Strait Islanders to protect their island homes.</p> 1018<h5>The claimants have five demands of the Australian Government:</h5> 1019<ol> 1020<li aria-level="1">Fund adaptation programs that will allow Zenadh Kes (Torres Strait Islands) communities to adapt to climate impacts</li> 1021<li aria-level="1">Commit to going 100% renewables in Australia in the next 10 years</li> 1022<li aria-level="1">

The complaint was the first legal action brought by people of low-lying islands vulnerable to climate damage against a nation state.</p> 1032<p>The landmark decision obliges the Australian Government to pay adequate compensation to the claimants and do whatever it takes to ensure the safe existence of the Torres Strait Islands. It also sets a precedent for Indigenous Peoples all around the world.</p> 1033<img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-50877" src="https://ourislandsourhome.com.au/wp-content/uploads/sites/92/2022/09/OIOH_UNDecision_Graphic_EMAIL-1024x576.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="576" srcset="https://ourislandsourhome.com.au/wp-content/uploads/sites/92/2022/09/OIOH_UNDecision_Graphic_EMAIL-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://ourislandsourhome.com.au/wp-content/uploads/sites/92/2022/09/OIOH_UNDecision_Graphic_EMAIL-300x169.jpg 300w, https://ourislandsourhome.com.au/wp-content/uploads/sites/92/2022/09/OIOH_UNDecision_Graphic_EMAIL-768x432.jpg 768w, https://ourislandsourhome.com.au/wp-content/uploads/sites/92/2022/09/OIOH_UNDecision_Graphic_EMAIL-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://ourislandsourhome.com.au/wp-content/uploads/sites/92/2022/09/OIOH_UNDecision_Graphic_EMAIL-430x242.jpg 430w, https://ourislandsourhome.com.au/wp-content/uploads/sites/92/2022/09/OIOH_UNDecision_Graphic_EMAIL-20x11.jpg 20w, https://ourislandsourhome.com.au/wp-content/uploads/sites/92/2022/09/OIOH_UNDecision_Graphic_EMAIL-1280x720.jpg 1280w, https://ourislandsourhome.com.au/wp-content/uploads/sites/92/2022/09/OIOH_UNDecision_Graphic_EMAIL.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /> 1034<h5></h5> 1035<p>The decision marks the first time an international court has found:</p> 1036<ul> 1037<li>a country has violated human rights law through inadequate climate policy</li> 1038<li>a nation state has been found responsible for their emissions under international human rights law</li> 1039<li>peoplesâ right to culture has been found to be at risk from climate impacts.</li> 1040</ul> 1041<p>Now, Torres Strait Islanders are building community support urging the Albanese Government to adopt the five demands of the campaign and protect Zenadh Kes from climate damage. What began as a complaint to the UNHCR has grown to become a powerful Torres Strait Islander led climate justice movement.</p> 1042<h5>Changing the politics</h5> 1043<p>Our Islands Our Home focuses on building bipartisan support for the campaign.
