Pacific island nations unite in the fight against climate change

Yessie Mosby is one of the so-called Torres Strait Eight, a group from the Pacific islands that has filed a complaint with the UN Human Rights Council. Their complaint — that Australia is not doing enough to protect its people from climate change — was the first case of its kind. Now Mosby is at the Pacific Arts and Culture Festival in Hawaii, trying to unite other Pacific island nations in the fight against climate change.
