- KAMY 2020 Message | KAMY
Climate Emergency 2022 On the cusp of the new decade, we would like to wish everyone a blessed new year and thank you for your endless support for the climate movement. The new decade sends a signal that we have more or less ten years before the temperature hikes up to more than 1.5 degrees Celcius. This will throw the natural systems out of balance, and as creatures that rely so much on nature – this posed an existential threat for humanity itself. With the way we are consuming things right now, without any regards to the environment, we are denying the rights of future generation to a habitable planet. And, for some community, that future is now. For example, this region is choking from a yearly haze crisis during the heatwaves, where the sky turned red in many areas, millions of people are smoking poison, schools closing for long periods of time etc – the haze is a public health nightmare as well as releasing gigatonnes of CO2 into the atmosphere. In the north – Myanmar and the Philippines, extreme weather patterns have caused frequent and stronger cyclones, leaving a trail of death and destruction. Sea levels are rising, and as more natural barriers like the mangroves are disappearing, more coastal cities will be hit hard and submerged in the next few decades. The magnitude of the tropical rainforest loss has not only led to a biodiversity crisis but also the degradation of water catchment that we heavily relied on. As resources wane, people will panic, hate, and blame. And this, will be a normal setting for our future, and perhaps even much worse. Our world is degrading fast into a state where it is not habitable anymore. Everyone will bear the implications -- you, your family, your friends, and your community. For some, the crisis has already hit them, risking food and water securities that have led to social unrest. This is the tipping point, if we fail to act now, our generation will be the first to perish because of climate change. In 2019, we have seen a surge of people from various backgrounds, young and old, stood together amid the climate crisis. Inside this crisis, incredible groups of young people have emerged with an amazing level of passion and creativity, and novel ways to organize and collaborate. The young, despite carrying the heavy burden and consequences of inaction by the corrupt and broken system, have shown resilience, strength, unity, survival and most important of all: HOPE. For the past one-year, young people globally have taken the lead for a social change – asking for a better future, pushing for a JUST climate policy where all voices are heard, and even designing for technological solutions. Gone were the days where only people in science can talk about the climate crisis. The young people today are a new breed of climate and environmental activists, constantly rethinking novel ways to empower the people to bring about the system and social change needed to heal this world. When KAMY started in early March 2019, we aim to bridge the gap existing between environmental and human rights causes in Malaysia to establish that these two causes intersect and are evermore connected in the future. One of the common responses we have gotten is that the issue of the climate crisis is too complex and abstract that these groups simply felt overwhelmed by the magnitude of its impacts. We realized that emulating climate campaigns from the Northern states, especially from developed nations, will fail to work in Malaysia given the different socio-economic and geographic scales, and climate literacy levels. The climate movement also faces a monumental challenge to maintain momentum. As a small and new group, which is run mostly by university students and young professionals, we have to select issues that we can work best with our current capacity. KAMY will focus on two main campaigns in 2020; CLIMATE STRIKES and ADVOCACY. Our work is utilized by a wide cross-sector of the community including the media, frontline communities, schools and universities, environmental and human rights NGOs, health organizations, government bodies, and individuals.

- Malaysia UPR 4th Cycle | Klima Action Malaysia (KAMY)
The Universal Periodic Review (UPR) is a mechanism of the United Nations Human Rights Council in which each member state (or country) undergoes a peer review of its human rights records every 4.5 years. Other member states provide recommendations to the state under review, and the state under review can decide whether to accept, partially accept or note the recommendations received. Malaysia UPR 4th Cycle COMANGO & KAMY's involvement in the UPR process The Universal Periodic Review (UPR) is a mechanism of the United Nations Human Rights Council in which each member state (or country) undergoes a peer review of its human rights records every 4.5 years. Other member states provide recommendations to the state under review, and the state under review can decide whether to accept, partially accept or note the recommendations received. Once the decision regarding the recommendations is made, the state under review will then have till the next UPR cycle to implement these recommendations. How is Malaysia part of this process? To begin, Malaysia compiles its national report, detailing the country's human rights situation and progress made since the last review in 2018. This report serves as a cornerstone for the UPR process Simultaneously, civil society organisations within Malaysia, including local NGOs, submit their own reports. These alternative perspectives provide a comprehensive view of the human rights landscape in the country, complementing or challenging the official government report. This is where COMANGO comes in! COMANGO (Coalition of Malaysian NGOs in the Universal Periodic Review Process) is a key civil society alliance in Malaysia, formed in 2008. It unites various human rights organisations to participate in Malaysia's UPR process. COMANGO plays a vital role by providing alternative reports on the country's human rights situation, ensuring civil society perspectives are heard alongside the government's official report. So....what’s the outcome of the UPR process? Malaysia's 4th UPR cycle outcome Total recommendations: 348 Accept in full = 182 Accept in part = 41 Take note = 125 UPR Outcome Document Recommendations that Malaysia accepted in full (related to climate crisis & Business and Human Rights) : 55.207 Take into consideration the rights of women, children and persons with disabilities in climate change strategies (Timor-Leste) 55.208 Take into account the rights of women, children, older persons and persons with disabilities in climate change adaptation strategies (Viet Nam) 55.209 Take into account the rights of women, children, older persons and persons with disabilities in climate change strategies (United Arab Emirates) 55.210 Incorporate the rights of women, children, older persons and persons with disabilities into climate change strategies (Russian Federation) 55.214 Strengthen its implementation of the Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, including by expediting the conclusion of its first business and human rights national action plan (Thailand) Source: Outcome Document / Addendum https://www.ohchr.org/en/hr-bodies/upr/my-index Why does the UPR process matter? The UPR process recognises that climate change affects fundamental human rights including the rights to life, health, food, water, housing, and self-determination. It provides a crucial platform to raise climate-related human rights issues on a global stage. Through the UPR, NGOs can pressure governments to develop effective and inclusive action plans and policies This process encourages collaboration between human rights and environmental groups, promoting a rights-based approach to climate advocacy. Engaging with the UPR can give visibility on the realities and experiences on the ground and provides a platform for CSOs to hold governments accountable The current UPR cycle's timing, coinciding with CEDAW, creates an opportunity for developing a rights based advocacy for climate and environment. How can this help your advocacy? 1. Integrate human rights into climate policies Environmental groups can use Malaysia's adopted UPR recommendations when engaging in processes like the National Adaptation Plan and Climate Change Act. This approach ensures climate-related policies incorporate a rights-based perspective. 2. Collaborate with KAMY / COMANGO We encourage environmental and human rights organisations to engage with us and actively participate in UPR implementation processes. This collaboration strengthens the advocacy of environmental rights. 3. Foster intersectionality The UPR process provides a unique opportunity to bridge environmental and human rights groups. By working together, these groups can address the intersectional nature of climate change and human rights issues, creating more comprehensive and inclusive solutions. 4. Hold the government accountable UPR outcomes serve as a powerful tool for civil society to monitor and ensure that Malaysia's climate actions align with its international human rights commitments. This accountability mechanism helps maintain focus on both environmental and human rights objectives.
