“I am very saddened and terrified knowing in the next 10 or 20 years Pari island might disappear,” said a fisherman. theSun theSundaily climatechange marine PariIsland Indonesia
In this aerial picture taken on February 22, 2023, a concrete embankment, used to stem rising sea levels, is seen around part of Pari island in the Thousand Islands cluster. AFPPIX: Sitting near a wall of stacked rocks, fisherman Mustagfirin looks out to sea from the tiny Indonesian island of Pari, wondering whether his home will exist for much longer.
The island's residents are seeking justice, and last month sued Swiss cement giant Holcim over its emissions. The floods used to happen twice a year but now hit the island more than a dozen times annually, they say. Another is mother-of-three Asmania, who lost her seaweed farm to flooding and worries about her fisherman husband who trawls the sea in extreme weather for ever-smaller catches.
“We do not believe that court cases focused on single companies are an effective mechanism to tackle the global complexity of climate action,“ it said.Pari is dependent on fishing and the tourists who swarm it for quick getaways from the crowded and heavily polluted capital.
