The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Sixth Assessment Report highlights that climate damage is already occurring in the Torres Strait, and these impacts are predicted to intensify.

In response, Torres Strait Islander leaders and Australian climate scientists have written a Joint Statement on Climate Change in the Torres Strait to urge politicians to take immediate action to protect the Torres Strait from the impacts of climate change.

Show solidarity with Torres Strait Islanders by sharing the Joint Statement online and endorsing the demands in parliament.
