Yessie Mosby is one of the so-called Torres Strait Eight, a group from the Pacific Islands which lodged a complaint with the UN Human Rights Council. Their complaint - that Australia is not doing enough to protect their people from climate change - was the first ever case of its kind.

Mr Mosby - a Zenadh Kes Masig man - has been in Hawaii for the Festival of Pacific Arts and Culture to connect with other countries from across the Pacific who are experiencing the climate crisis on their doorstep.He's already seen the devastating effects on his homeland, Masig Island in the Torres Strait.

Speaking at the recent Festival of Pacific Arts and Culture gathering in Hawaii, Mr Mosby is encouraging Indigenous peoples in the Pacific region to think about other island nations in their pursuit of climate justice. "It set a precedent throughout the world, knowing that a lot of other islands and other Indigenous people will eat the fruit of this labor, that they will seek climate justice for their home."Instead, the federal government invested the funds into climate research.
