Climate Justice, From the Ground Up We advance rights-based climate action in Malaysia through policy research, coalition building, and community empowerment—ensuring those most affected by climate change lead the solutions. Access KAMY's Resource Hub About KAMY FOCUS AREAS Indigenous people Business and Human Rights Just Energy Transition Climate Communication Legal Empowerment Gender & Women KAMY is a feminist climate justice organisation advancing rights-based, gender-responsive climate governance in Malaysia. Since 2020, we've worked at the intersection of climate action and social justice, bridging grassroots communities—especially women, Indigenous Peoples, and youth—with policy-makers to ensure Malaysia's climate response centers the most vulnerable. Through research, advocacy, and coalition-building, we translate complex climate policies into accessible action while platforming marginalized voices in spaces where critical decisions about our climate future are made.

LATEST! Women, Gender and Climate Governance in Peninsular Malaysia A comprehensive policy paper analysing how climate change disproportionately impacts women in Malaysia. Assessing national policies against international commitments such as CEDAW and the Paris Agreement, this report identifies implementation gaps in Malaysia's climate governance and calls for meaningful participation of women in climate decision-making—not merely as vulnerable victims, but as leaders and agents of transformative change. JET-BHR in Peninsular Malaysia This report analyses Malaysia's energy transition progress through the Business and Human Rights lens, examining how Just Transition can protect and empower workers, Indigenous peoples, women, and vulnerable communities. Towards a Feminist Just Energy Transition in Asia A regional policy brief developed by the Asia Feminist Coalition; this document outlines a path towards a feminist-led just energy transition in Asia. It critiques the existing energy system, identifies key principles of a feminist transition, examines global macroeconomic barriers, and presents actionable recommendations for policymakers in the energy ecosystem. Heartbeat Voices from Indigenous Youth of Peninsula Malaysia The "Sekolah Iklim" report highlights the experiences of Orang Asli youth in Peninsular Malaysia amidst climate change. It discusses their struggles with socio-economic hardships and environmental threats, emphasising their resilience and adaptability. The report critiques prevailing legal frameworks and advocates for stronger Indigenous land rights and inclusion in climate governance. Do you know about Malaysia's Climate Change Bill (RUUPIN) ? KAMY wrote three RUUPIN Feedback Submissions for the government, in collaboration with various stakeholders and diverse perspectives. (1) General submission (2) Women’s Rights (3) Children and Youth’s Rights Read them here > Learn more about RUUPIN here > Download resources about RUUPIN here > Our Principles & approach Rights-based & gender responsive Every climate policy, every energy transition, every adaptation plan must protect human rights and address how climate change affects people differently based on gender, class, and identity. We integrate feminist analysis into all our advocacy, ensuring no one is left behind in Malaysia's climate response. Decolonising climate discourse We challenge the dominance of Global North narratives in climate conversations. Through community-centered research, grassroots storytelling, and Indigenous knowledge systems, we amplify local voices and solutions rooted in Malaysian realities. Bridging complex to accessible Climate policy shouldn't be locked away in technical jargon. We translate complex legal frameworks, energy systems, and international negotiations into accessible information that empowers communities to engage meaningfully in decisions affecting their lives. Coalition building across movements Climate justice intersects with every struggle for equity. We build alliances across women's rights, Indigenous sovereignty, food sovereignty, labor rights, and environmental movements - recognising that our fights are interconnected and our solutions must be too. Data-driven & grounded on lived realities Our advocacy combines research with lived experiences from the ground. We fill critical data gaps while ensuring community voices and stories remain at the center of our policy work. OUR Focus areas Just Energy Transition (JET) Our JET work encompasses: Research & Policy Development Through our JETBHR research , we produced Malaysia's first comprehensive analysis applying Business and Human Rights principles to energy transition, offering concrete policy recommendations for state and corporate actors. Contributed human rights and community engagement perspectives to Malaysia's Sustainable Energy Development Authority (SEDA) in developing the National Renewable Energy Policy Document and Action Plan (Phase 2), helping shape the country's renewable energy framework and implementation strategy. Asia Feminist Coalition We are a founding member of the Asia Feminist Coalition, launched in 2022 with Oxfam International and partners across the region. In 2023, we co-authored the regional policy brief “Towards a Feminist Just Energy Transition in Asia.” As part of Malaysia’s 2025 ASEAN chairmanship, we’re co-organised a regional dialogue with AFC and our regional partners on gender and just energy transition (JET–GENDER) , and coordinated conversations on the labour impacts of energy transition—especially on women and workers. Media & Comms Since 2022, our Lensa Iklim programme has been crucial in building climate journalism capacity, training 50+ journalists and producing investigative features on energy transition issues from hydropower impacts to solar waste management . Business & Human Rights (BHR) NAPBHR (National Action Plan on Business and Human Rights) As the lead for the Environment chapter in Malaysia’s Baseline Assessment on Business and Human Rights (NAPBHR), we identified critical policy gaps in corporate environmental accountability. We continue to advocate for the constitutional right to a clean and healthy environment, alongside the enactment of a Climate Change Act with binding targets. Our work advances corporate accountability frameworks that ensure businesses respect, protect, and remedy both environmental and human rights. Read More JET-BHR JET-BHR In Peninsular Malaysia - Towards a Just Energy Transition with Business and Human Rights Principles In February 2025, we published “JET-BHR in Peninsular Malaysia” —a first-of-its-kind report examining Malaysia’s energy transition through a Business and Human Rights (BHR) lens. The report documents how energy transitions affect workers, Indigenous peoples, women, and other vulnerable communities. It outlines key barriers and opportunities for a rights-based approach, and provides policy recommendations for duty bearers—grounded in the BHR principles of protect, respect, and remedy. Read More Gender & Women CEDAW Process We led Malaysia’s first comprehensive gender-climate submission to the CEDAW Committee, marking a major step in feminist climate advocacy. Our official written report, “Women & Climate Crisis in Peninsula Malaysia” (April 2024), detailed the gendered impacts of climate disasters, care burdens, energy poverty, and policy gaps in Malaysia’s climate response. As a result, we secured substantive recommendations on climate change and just energy transition in the CEDAW Concluding Observations—creating binding obligations for the Malaysian government. Gender Budget Group As part of Malaysia’s Gender Budget Group (GBG), we contributed climate justice perspectives to national budget advocacy in 2024. At the Gender Lens on Budget 2025 roundtable , we highlighted the disproportionate climate impacts on women and called for a national baseline on gendered climate risks and stronger climate-environment SDG tagging. We also engaged Members of Parliament to promote gender-responsive budgeting frameworks that integrate care work, climate resilience, and inclusive energy transition. Our work supports ongoing efforts to institutionalise gender-responsive approaches in climate finance governance. Legal Empowerment Malaysia's Climate Change Bill (RUUPIN) Advocacy We led extensive advocacy on Malaysia’s upcoming Climate Change Bill (RUUPIN) , utilising a rights-based and inclusive approach. Through urgent public outreach, we engaged a wide range of civil society groups—including women’s rights organisations, youth networks, Indigenous advocates, and persons with disabilities—to provide substantive feedback on the bill draft. To strengthen public participation, we developed accessible climate communication tools in both English and Bahasa Melayu , including one-pagers and explainer videos—ensuring more people could engage with policy processes that shape their future. Universal Periodic Review (UPR) Process We have been actively engaged in Malaysia’s Universal Periodic Review (UPR) process since early 2023, working through the COMANGO coalition. KAMY contributed to the Joint NGO Report submitted in July 2023 , ensuring the inclusion of critical perspectives on environmental rights, just energy transition, and gender-climate intersections. As a result, Malaysia’s UPR in January 2024 saw the adoption of landmark recommendations—calling for gender-responsive climate policies, stronger environmental governance, and the protection of vulnerable groups in the face of climate impacts. Indigenous Peoples Weaving Hopes for the Future Launched in 2021, this Indigenous-led initiative amplifies the voices of Peninsular Malaysia’s Orang Asli especially young women- through art, film, and cultural storytelling. From highlighting the issue of Loss and Damage at COP26 to producing a community report on the Jakun people in Pahang presented at COP27 and COP28, the programme centers Indigenous knowledge in climate discourse. Read More Sekolah Iklim A report that elevates the role of Orang Asli youth in climate governance. It documents the impact of logging, monocrop plantations, mining, and weak disaster response on Indigenous communities. The report calls for urgent reforms to protect Indigenous land and cultural rights, in alignment with the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) and SUHAKAM’s national recommendations. Read More Climate Communications Lensa Iklim Our flagship climate journalism programme (2022-2025) strengthens Malaysia's media capacity to report on climate change and energy transition with depth and accuracy. We've trained 50+ journalists and editors across Malaysia , equipping them with the skills to cover complex climate issues. Through structured mentorship, we've supported the production of 10+ original investigative stories spotlighting climate change, energy transition, and environmental justice. In February 2023, we published "Climate And Energy Transition Reporting In Peninsular Malaysia's Mainstream News Media" . This research conducted systematic content analysis, identifying coverage gaps and providing a roadmap for improved climate communication strategies. Through ongoing curriculum development and mentorship support, Lensa Iklim is building a generation of climate-literate journalists who can translate complex climate science and policy into accessible public discourse, fundamentally improving how Malaysians understand and engage with climate issues.

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.

Introduction In 2022, Klima Action Malaysia (KAMY) with the support of the European Climate Foundation (ECF), launched Lensa Iklim, a climate journalism and energy journalism program in Peninsula Malaysia that aims to upskill and empower Malaysian journalists and mainstream news media to improve climate change and energy transition reporting. The program now is supported by Tara Climate Foundation. The gaps & challenges of Climate Journalism in Peninsula Malaysia We conducted a research to investigate this phenomenon. We published a “Climate-Energy Transition Media Reporting in Peninsular Malaysia.” This report runs a data analysis on the climate and energy transition reporting of the news media in Peninsula Malaysia, with supporting analysis of the interviews from journalists and editors of various news media. Access our microsite here! How Lensa Iklim aims to bridge the gap Lensa Iklim was formed to empower journalists in Peninsula Malaysia in climate crisis and energy transition reporting. The long-term aim is to strengthen climate communication in Malaysia, under the Right to Information objective, thus increasing the public’s climate literacy. The program also has a short-term goal to increase the capacity of journalists, in the news media and newsroom sector, in Peninsular Malaysia on climate crises specific to the energy sector and “Just Transition”.

COVID-19 RESPOND Misi bantu oa #MisiBantuOA is a disaster response intervention run by youth groups; Shaq Koyok, Gerimis Project, KUASA, Diri Bumi Ecological Practice and KAMY specifically to coordinate and centralise the efforts for immediate relief to Orang Asli communities in Peninsular Malaysia Our targets are the Orang Asli communities located in the interiors and communities living by the fringes of degraded forests - all now facing a severe economic and health crisis, as well shortage of supplies due to CMO amid COVID19. Communities facing decades of environmental injustice and human rights violations will be disproportionately affected by COVID-19 and other future shocks including climate impacts. The loss of these crucial communities will not only cost us the fight for forest protection for climate mitigation & adaptation. Often understated, ethnobotany and irreplaceable indigenous knowledge aids in our understanding of the forest health and composition among many others— including our relationship with the earth. Based on the principles of #ClimateJustice , KAMY through #MisiBantuOA will refocus on how to increase Orang Asli community resilience. Throughout the 1st phase of #MisiBantuOA , we collected a lot of information and identified gaps in food sufficiency within the indigenous community. We also realized that women, especially young women with the child are disproportionately affected by the pandemic. Covid19 coupled with forest degradation and systematic genocide of the indigenous culture in peninsular Malaysia have eroded the food sovereignty of indigenous communities. PROTECT OUR FUTURE Seek for a GREEN and JUST transition to our post COVID-19 future! Read #MisiBantuOA public document here bit.ly/MB-OA We are now planning the 2nd phase : post COVID-19 recovery, pilot project in Pos Lanai villages, Pahang Email us at nadiah@klimaactionmalaysia.org to contribute or inquire PROJECT PHASES Phase 1 | Misi Bantu OA Disaster respond during Covid19 by sending aid to Orang Asli in the peninsula of Malaysia. We send supplies, food, Cov19 sanitary kits, dignity kits for young women, children, and OKU Co-building the Orang Asli open repository with our partners in the OA collective and Jabatan Kemajuan Orang Asli Malaysia (JAKOA) to build a platform of resources and strategy sharing among grassroots to increase the indigenous community resilience during Covid19. #MisiBantuOA urges for transparent communication, information and resource sharing between government agencies and CSOs/NGOs during a crisis. Phase 2 | Kebun Mandiri OA Establishing cash crop and food garden (2 acres) in indigenous Semai's Pos Lanai villages in the interior of Pahang using the funds from #MisiBantuOA and other external funds. We call this project Kebun Mandiri OA Pos Lanai. Phase I: Increase food sufficiency of the community during the pandemic Phase II: Leadership and organizational capacity building, mainstreaming gender balanced mechanism Phase III: food security, sustainbility, cultural rights, visibility and marketing. Phase 3 | CAK Art Project In tandem with Kebun Mandiri OA, we are setting up CAK. CAK means ‘eat’ in the Semai and Temiar language. A simple word that carries an important and deeper meaning of survival, culture, and relationship to the land. What do we eat when we eat? What are the origins of our food? During MCO and the global lockdown, many countries including ours experienced a disruption in the food supply chain (rice, vegetables, poultry, etc.). CAK aims to introduce Kebun Mandiri OA initiative to the public through an exhibition with various programming where the public can immerse and interact with engaging information, discourses, and key community members. Some key points are how climate change affects crop production and the loss of heirloom seeds. The urgency of protecting these seeds and native, edible plants that can become our food bank during a food crisis or when we are cut off from the global supply chain. We collect data and share resources on several projects. MisiBantuOA is also a part of a larger collective of NGOs and CSOs working to empower the Orang Asli communities in Malaysia.
