First Nations Voices on Climate Justice

On today’s show, we hear from two first nations advocates from the frontlines of the climate battle. They touch on climate change impacts in their communities; their fight to protect Country, and why First Nations voices must be front and centre.  Rosaline Parker is a Pasifika advocate and cultural consultant based in Western Sydney. Her work includes empowering young pacific leaders to engage in meaningful advocacy, as well as climate justice initiatives in Tuvalu and Kiribati, in partnership with the Tuvalu Climate Action Network. Kabay Tamu was one of eight Torres Strait Islanders who took a world-first human rights case against the Australian government for its inaction on climate change. He is a Councillor for the Torres Strait Island Regional Council and advocates for the rights of islanders through the Our Islands Our Home campaign.This webinar was organised by seed national Indigenous climate network.  Earth Matters #1522 was produced by Mia Audrey.
