This video documents the first climate case reaching Australia's High Court, where residents of the Hunter Valley argue that the state's Independent Planning Commission failed to consider the impact of greenhouse gas emissions from coal exports on their local environment. The case highlights how communities bear the consequences of environmental policies while governments continue exporting resources, with residents sharing personal stories of homes destroyed by fires and floods, and properties becoming uninsurable due to climate-related risks.

Federal CourtAdded:
We just listened to one person speak and it was absolutely heartbreaking where she told how her house was destroyed by fire in the central coast and that her local area government has had to apply for disaster relief 16 times in the last 6 years and even Wendy and Tony who are now the people in court, they've been told that their house is uninsurable and they told stories of friends whose houses were flooded or burned and now they're uninsurable, too. Yes, so this case really is showing that what we're exporting to Japan, Korea, around the world, we've been wiping ourselves of responsibility and the government can keep doing that, but we are feeling the impact and at one point the government has to face the music and this might be the moment.
