PARI ISLAND: Sitting next to 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.
His battered wooden boat is anchored just offshore, where trees and statues that were once on the beach now sit partially submerged about 40 km north of the capital Jakarta.
"I am very saddened and terrified that Pari Island might disappear in the next 10 or 20 years," the 52-year-old told AFP.
Most of the 42 hectare island could sink due to rising sea levels by the year 2050, according to environmentalists.
The island's residents are seeking justice, and last month sued Swiss cement giant Holcim over its emissions.
They allege that the world's largest cement firm is responsible for climate-related losses and damages in a case that could be a landmark for plaintiffs from developing countries who take industrial giants.
In recent years, environmental litigation against governments and fossil fuel firms has risen, but this is the first case filed by Indonesians against a foreign company for climate-related damage.
It's the first instance of a Swiss company being sued for its alleged role in climate change.
Puspa Dewy, an environmentalist at Indonesian NGO Walhi, said Winning this case might spark the spirit of other islanders affected by climate change to demand justice.
The spirit of activism can be seen across the picturesque, flat island where posters and graffiti of Save Pulau Pari and Climate Justice Now are plastered.
