SEKOLAH IKLIM Climate Report Heartbeat Voices from Indigenous Youth of Peninsula Malaysia Suara Nadi Belia Orang Asli Semenanjung Malaysia Executive Summary The Orang Asli youth of Peninsula Malaysia are at the forefront of the climate crisis, facing severe impacts from environmental degradation, legal logging, mono-crop plantations, mining, and inadequate emergency responses to natural disasters. These challenges threaten their ancestral land rights, health, and cultural heritage. Marginalized communities disproportionately bear the cost of the transition to renewable energy, with projects risking the erasure of historical sites and undermining Indigenous territorial autonomy. The report emphasizes the critical role of Orang Asli youth in climate governance, advocating for policy reforms that include their voices and safeguard Indigenous land rights, in line with the UNDRIP and SUHAKAM's recommendations.

Beyond academia, Kasih's heart beats for local arts and culture, contributing as a writer and musician, amplifying her advocacy through creativity. In "Heartbeat Voices from Indigenous Youth of Peninsula Malaysia, " Kasih collaboratively amplifies the voices of Orang Asli youth, working alongside them to push for critical changes in climate governance and the acknowledgment of Indigenous rights. Her efforts are part of a collective call to action, championing policies that genuinely incorporate and defend the voices most impacted by environmental injustices.

These fundamental demands are critical in building climate strategies driven by systemic change, transformation and a just transition for the people.

Concluding Observation from the CEDAW Committee for the Malaysian government about climate change Read from the Concluding Observation document here The quote below is a translation. Climate change and disaster risk reduction 52.⁠ ⁠The Committee welcomes the initiatives aimed at green growth and advancing climate action implemented by the Malaysian Green Technology Corporation. However, it notes with concern: (a) Reports of river water contamination in Indigenous areas, which disproportionally affect Indigenous women and girls; (b) Challenges Indigenous women and girls face in maintaining their traditional lifestyle, with adverse health impacts, due to climate change and territorial loss, coupled with changes in their food systems (c) The lack of a gender perspective in policies and programmes on climate change, disaster risk reduction and transition to renewable energy. 53.⁠ ⁠The Committee recommends that, in line with its general recommendations No. 37 (2018) on the gender-related dimensions of disaster risk reduction in the context of climate change and No. 39 (2022) on the rights of Indigenous women and girls, the State party review its climate change and disaster response strategies, taking into account the negative effects of climate change on the livelihoods of women, especially rural and Indigenous women, and ensure that women are meaningfully involved in the development, adoption and implementation of legislation, policies and programmes on climate change, disaster response and disaster risk reduction by, in particular: (a) Collecting disaggregated data on the impact of climate change and natural disasters on women and girls, including rural and Indigenous women and girls; (b) Ensuring the incorporation of a gender perspective in climate change and disaster risk reduction strategies, renewable energy legislation, financing and programmes in order to address the specific and unique needs of women and girls and build their resilience and effective adaptation to climate change; (c) Taking measures to address the specific impact of climate change on women’s livelihoods and access to resources, and ensuring their economic empowerment in the transition to a green economy.

#MY CLIMATE STRIKE Coming Soon Latest Want to start your own campaign? KAMY Resources CLIMATE CRISIS is no longer a foreseeable future. It is a reality that MALAYSIA is experiencing, and it is at a critical stage. This is a climate emergency. Malaysia's air quality exceeds the API 150 scale, a long-term threat to human health. The haze crisis associated with global warming is one of the effects of climate change, and it knows no human boundaries. Malaysia will not survive this crisis. ENVIRONMENTAL PROVISIONS related to CLIMATE CRISIS should be taken seriously for Malaysia's socio-economic and political survival in the future. Watch out! We have another 10 years before a temperature rise of 1.5 ° C, a level that will result in irreversible damage. This is the greatest existential crisis of mankind. Come down to defend the right to freedom of expression of the ENVIRONMENT by irresponsible people and to bring down the quality of life, the destruction of wildlife and ecosystem as well as the death of Malaysians and the extinction of wildlife!

We need to reclaim the people's narrative and hold Malaysian parent companies taking advantage of corrupt structures in Indonesia accountable. Advocacy in populating correct information about the origin of haze can fortify actions for an impactful and meaningful outcome. The haze is a climate and a public health crisis, and unless the people take steps to address this, the cycle will get worse as a stronger El Nino is predicted in 2020. Tangible policy action is inadequate as people on the ground are building more emergency shelters to protect them from the haze. Reclaim the people's narrative on transboundary haze crisis Haze Workshops Humanizing Haze Infographics and videos from the ground #HazeStories Reports - survey and data collection Update Demands & Petitions ( local and regional ) Push for public consultation on the Transboundary Haze Act, whereby the public may access the Act draft and provide feedback.
