Photos from yesterday’s Climate Justice Rally at Bradfield Park, Milson’s Point. Organisers aimed to bring attention to the demand for an Advisory Opinion on climate justice and human rights from International Court of Justice to the United Nations. By endorsing this Advisory Opinion, it is hoped greater action on climate change can be achieved through the U.N.
Pacific Islands are at the forefront of climate change and are currently some of the most impacted communities on earth due to increasing fossil fuel emissions. This was a focus of yesterday’s rally.
Performers from communities around Sydney gathered to add their voice to endorse the Advisory Opinion, including the Swastik Institute for Dance, Africa Beat and the Fiji Sydney Catholic Youth Meke Group. The MC for the day was Shiva Gouden from Greenpeace Australia Pacific. The Welcome to Country and opening smoke were performed by Uncle Chika Madden and Yuin man Mark Merriman.
