This case study profiles Jack Egan, a resident of the NSW South Coast and participant in the Hard Truths human rights case, who lost his home in Rosedale during the 2019-2020 Black Summer bushfires. Egan describes how the experience of the Currowan fire transformed his understanding of climate change from a distant threat to a present reality, leading him to advocate for the cessation of fossil fuel expansion and the use of courts to protect citizens from climate-fuelled disasters.
