A UN committee sided with Torres Strait Islanders who sued the Australian government for not protecting them from climate change. 8 Indigenous residents and their children who live on the Torres Strait Islands—including Boigu, Poruma, Warraber, and Masig—said that Australia’s failure to adapt to climate change and to adopt measures to mitigate it is harming their livelihoods and way of life. The UN committee is now asking Australia to provide compensation to the Islanders and to protect the communities in the future by consulting them and taking measures to ‘continue securing the communities’ safe existence on their respective islands.’
