A group of indigenous islanders from Australia’s Torres Strait have launched a world-first legal battle in a bid to protect their homes.

The low-lying islands, located on the northern tip of the country, have seen rising sea levels, coastal erosion and flooding in recent years.
It’s the first time a claim of this kind has been taken to the UN Human Rights Committee.
