Gender sensitive intervention Gender "Climate change is a man-made problem with a feminist solution" Mary Robinson First female president of Ireland and present-day activist for gender equality and climate justice "Women are the worst victims of ecological destruction" Vandana Shiva Philosopher, alter-globalisation figure, eco-feminist, author, food sovereignty advocate, physicist, activist 01 What does a feminist perspective on the climate crisis mean? The climate crisis is also a result of male-driven economies . The heating of our planet and the ecological destruction is an outcome of capitalist hunger for growth, profits and resources. It is mostly men who sit in power positions in the capitalist economy. The same is true for political decision-making: Men still constitute the majority of decision makers and still 100 years after introduction voting rights for women in most countries, they own until today few power positions. This is not only true for nation states, but is also visible in international negotiations like the UNFCC and the COP delegations. So women have far less access to climate-relevant policy-making and therefor, their perspective is also not included well enough in climate policies. This is not to say that women in a capitalist and patriarchal system are per se better people and we don’t know how our economy would look like if more women were involved in political and economic decision-making. But priorities and mitigation strategies might look differently otherwise. 02 What is the link between female and nature exploitation? The key to examining the relationship between environmental degradation and female exploitation is by exploring a similar pathway both issues are embedded in our current economic system. Capitalism is rooted in the supposedly infinite and free resources for production and distribution, and the way in which both are exploited and serve as the basis for capitalist oppression, exploitation and abuse of people. For example, the insatiable consumption rates driven by the need for monetary profit and growth justify the exploitation of natural resources. limits women and their access to resources. The over exploitation of nature is exerted by the patriarchal control through economies build by men allowing the perpetuation of capitalism. Women are limited to access of resources and 03 Eco feminism movement to avert environmental degradation Early ecofeminist movements stem from grassroots struggles in resisting patriarchal and capitalistic control over natural resources. Most of them are marginalised and agrarian classes who are directly impacted by environmental degradation which then formed women-led action to maintain their healthy relationship with nature and natural resources.

Feminism is at the same time a political tool in the fight for equality and women’s autonomy. Women are disproportionately affected by climate impacts We are already seeing some of the devastating effects of climate change, with increasing floods, hurricanes and other natural disasters. Women are the most vulnerable in these situations, facing the maximum risk due to their socio-economic status. With 70% living in poverty, women are disproportionately affected by extreme weather events, loss of agricultural productivity, destruction of life and property and so on, all of which stem from the climate crisis.

Climate and energy transition reporting in Peninsular Malaysia's mainstream news media. A report by Lensa Iklim programme and initiative by Klima Action Malaysia - KAMY, supported by European Climate Foundation. JET-BHR IN PENINSULAR MALAYSIA Towards a just energy transition with business and human rights principles Download Here Why this matters now Malaysia stands at a crucial crossroads in its energy transition journey. We face a critical challenge: how to transform our energy systems without perpetuating historical injustices or creating new ones. The timing is critical to ensure our energy transition not only reduces emissions but also protects and empowers rakyat. This is not just about switching energy sources; it's about dismantling systems of exploitation and ensuring the benefits of clean energy reach everyone, not just those with power and capital. About this report This report examines Malaysia's energy transition through the lens of business and human rights, guided by the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs) and ILO's Guidelines for a Just Transition. Through research and engagement with stakeholders across government, business, civil society, and affected communities in Peninsular Malaysia, we identify gaps and provide actionable recommendations to protect workers, Indigenous peoples, women, and vulnerable communities. Our goal is to ensure Malaysia's energy transition not only achieves its climate targets but does so in a way that is just, inclusive, and equitable for all. Critical Insights: What's At Stake "The economy must be reimagined beyond traditional GDP growth and quantitative targets. The challenge is moving away from a profit-centric view to a long-term perspective" Energy & Economy Malaysia's energy landscape stands at a critical juncture, with fossil fuels dominating nearly 96% of our primary energy supply. While the National Energy Transition Roadmap sets an ambitious target of 70% renewable energy capacity by 2050 and plans to implement carbon tax by 2026, fundamental concerns remain. As one environmental policy advocate notes: "The economy must be reimagined beyond traditional GDP growth and quantitative targets. The challenge is moving away from a profit-centric view to a long-term perspective." Labour & Safety The transition to renewable energy promises significant job creation, with projections reaching 310,000 jobs by 2050. However, serious concerns about worker safety and rights are emerging. These challenges extend beyond safety to fundamental labor rights. "For rooftop solar installers, there are situations during heat waves where workers had to work in 'shoe-melting temperatures,'" "If your sector has a high risk for forced labour, and your transition is not properly mapped, you are going to go from the frying pan into the fire." "There is also no visibility for women in the STEM field due to the perception of their inability to work in this field," "It is difficult to report discrimination because most of the time, the perpetrator will just gaslight women by saying there is no proof of discrimination" Gender & Inclusion The energy transition reflects broader gender disparities in Malaysian society. Women's labor force participation remains significantly lower at 56.2% compared to 83% for men, while their representation in parliament stands at just 15%. These systemic barriers are particularly evident in the energy sector. The challenges women face are deeply rooted in workplace culture: "It is difficult to report discrimination because most of the time, the perpetrator will just gaslight women by saying there is no proof of discrimination," shares a women's rights advocate. Read more from the report Download Here Report Roadmap This roadmap provides a structured guide to achieving a just energy transition through the lens of Business and Human Rights. Following the UN Guiding Principles' three pillars - Protect, Respect, and Remedy - we break down complex policy areas into clear, actionable recommendations for both government and business stakeholders. The roadmap shows how different sectors, from state institutions to corporate entities, can contribute to ensuring a just and inclusive transition for all Malaysians.

A Concluding Observation is an outcome document issued after Malaysia’s constructive dialogue with the CEDAW Committee in Geneva. It contains detailed feedback and recommendations from the CEDAW Committee on how a country can improve its compliance with women’s rights standards after reviewing that country’s periodic report. 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.
