Pabai Pabai and Guy Paul Kabai v. Commonwealth of Australia

(Short summary of who the plaintiffs and defendants are and why they are bringing the case, and any reasons why this case is unique/a precedent/important.) First Nations leaders from the Gudamalulgal Nation of the Torres Strait Islands, Pabai Pabai and Paul Kabai, sued the Commonwealth of Australia in the Federal Court of Australia. Their complaint alleged that the Australian federal government had a legal duty of care to protect Torres Strait Islander Peoples from the severe and lasting effects of climate change, and that the federal government had breached this duty of care by failing to adequately curb greenhouse gas emissions. The plaintiffs are seeking an order of the court mandating that the Australian federal government prevent this harm by cutting greenhouse gas emissions.
