WYCJ Pacific
The Pacific Islands Students Fighting Climate Change
Our Story
It all began in a classroom
PISFCC began in March 2019 when 27 USP Law students from 8 Pacific Island countries decided to join together to begin a campaign to persuade the leaders of the Pacific Island Forum to take the issue of climate change and human rights to the International Court of Justice.
Our Vision
Climate change now threatens to destroy our homeland and cultures, but we will not lie down and accept that fate. Instead, we choose to use our passion and knowledge to fight against climate change at every level - from the grassroots of our communities to the highest levels of national and international government.
Why we’re here
We envision a genuine global solidarity and cooperation any youth who are wanting to use the law as a vehicle for bringing transformational changes to our societies into a just, green and fairer future. We see the Climate Litigation Youth Alliance as a platform that will deliver this. Therefore we pledge our allegiance to the World’s Youth for Climate Justice (WYCJ).
