Klima Action Malaysia (KAMY) is a women-led climate justice and feminist organisation. Since 2020, we’ve shifted national policy from awareness to rights-based action by ensuring those most affected lead the change.
Our theory of change is simple: true sustainability emerges when power shifts to the people. We centre Indigenous communities, women, youth, workers, persons with disabilities, and other frontline groups—recognising their lived realities as evidence for policy change.
Through community consultations and movement-building, we co-create solutions that embed justice, gender equity, and social inclusion into Malaysia’s climate response. We mobilise to hold duty-bearers accountable and reimagine systems by rewriting the rules of climate governance from the ground up.
