Yumi
The Whole World
The worldโs most urgent issue is brought before the highest courts as three law students, Solomon, Vishal, and Romabeth, tackle the climate crisis on the global stage. Entrusted with the hopes of their homelands, the students lead an unprecedented legal campaign for a historic climate resolution at the United Nations and the International Court of Justice (ICJ). As the South Pacific islands face the catastrophic threat of rising sea levels, the campaign aims to hold nations accountable for their environmental impact, urging the ICJ to define a state’s legal obligations in addressing climate change. From Vanuatu to The Hague, the film follows the students as they navigate international diplomacy, working with ministers and ambassadors, confronting political hurdles and bureaucracy, and encountering the challenges that come with mobilising communities. Yumi – The Whole World is a powerful exploration of survival, climate justice, and collective action, portraying the fight not only for the islands but for a sustainable global future.
