Abstract

A month ago it was announced that eight residents of the Torres Strait Islands in Australia were bringing a human rights challenge against the Australian Government. These are a group of islands north of Queensland, home to a unique first nation people, who have inhabited the region for thousands of years, making it one of the oldest continuous cultures in the world. They are threatened by climate change, which is already causing regular flooding of their land and homes and is predicted to get much worse. Rising sea temperatures are also affecting the health of the marine environment.

期刊介绍： The relationship between human rights and the environment is fascinating, uneasy and increasingly urgent. This international journal provides a strategic academic forum for an extended interdisciplinary and multi-layered conversation that explores emergent possibilities, existing tensions, and multiple implications of entanglements between human and non-human forms of liveliness. We invite critical engagements on these themes, especially as refracted through human rights and environmental law, politics, policy-making and community level activisms.
