APAKAH PERUBAHAN IKLIM? Iklim bumi sentiasa berubah sepanjang sejarah evolusi bumi. Perubahan yang perlahan dan beransur-ansur ini dipengaruhi oleh pelbagai faktor. Antaranya ialah kitaran orbit bumi atau ‘Kitaran Melankovich’ dan pergerakan plat tektonik. Proses proses ini menjadikan bumi ini satu planet mampu dihuni oleh pelbagai spesies dan diversiti. Perubahan iklim semula jadi juga telah membentuk perjalanan evolusi dan migrasi hominin (manusia awal seperti Homo Erectus dan juga manusia moden Homo Sapiens ) Walau bagaimanapun, pertumbuhan manusia dan perindustrian yang pesat telah mengubah proses semulajadi perubahan iklim dengan kadar kelajuan yang amat berbahaya. Emisi karbon dioksida (CO2), sejenis gas rumah hijau telah terbebas ke atmosfera pada kadar berbahaya yang memanaskan Bumi dengan ketara. Gaya hidup manusia yang tidak mampan dalam sistem ekonomi berat sebelah yang mementingkan keuntungan korporasi korporasi gergasi, telah menyebabkan konsentrasi CO2 dalam atmosfera meningkat sebanyak 40% sejak revolusi perindustrian dan dijangka bertambah buruk dalam beberapa dekad akan datang. Beberapa minggu lepas, konsentrasi CO2 di atmosfera telah melebihi 400 ppm, satu situasi yang tidak pernah di lihat dalam sejarah manusia moden. IMPAK KEPADA MALAYSIA Kenaikan suhu global! Kenaikan suhu 1.5 °C dan ke atas akan membawa kepada pemanasan laut, pencairan glasier, kenaikan paras laut dan iklim yang melampau dan tidak menentu. Di Malaysia, kesan perubahan iklim yang mula dirasai adalah haba melampau dalam bentuk gelombang panas. Ini meningkatkan risiko kesihatan yang berkait dengan haba, polusi dan kematian. Kepanasan berterusan bakal menyaksikan kemusnahan biodiversity seperti kematian terumbu karang yang merupakan ‘keystone’ habitat untuk hidupan marin, yang merupakan sumber makanan rakyat. Di darat, kehilangan hutan dara, modifikasi sistem penggunaan tanah dan urbanisasi yang tidak mampan juga menaikkan lagi suhu lokal seperti yang dilihat di Borneo yang kehilangan 50% dari hutan daranya. Selain itu, pencairan glasier dan litupan ais adalah penyumbang utama kepada kenaikan paras laut, menyebabkan masyarakat di kawasan pesisiran laut berisiko dinaiki air. Kehilangan penempatan manusia dalam kawasan ini bukan sahaja akan membawa kepada kadar penghijrahan bandar yang lebih tinggi, tetapi ia juga akan meluaskan jurang sosio ekonomi bagi warga yang hidup dalam garis kemiskinan sama ada komuniti marginal, wanita atau kanak-kanak. Golongan terpinggir ini adalah golongan yang paling terdedah kepada perubahan iklim, namun paling kurang bersedia untuk menghadapi risiko perubahan iklim. Musim kering yang berpanjangan juga boleh mengkompromi keselamatan makanan negara akibat tanaman makanan yang musnah disebabkan kepanasan extrem dan masalah irigasi. Sekiranya isu ini terus diambil ringan, bukan sahaja petani mengalami kehilangan mata pencarian, malah produktiviti ekonomi negara juga akan terjejas.

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.

CLIMATE STRIKES JEREBU IPCC TALK SERIES CLIMATE WORKSHOP CLIMATE CIRCLE (CC) OPS DARURAT IKLIM CLIMATE REPORT CARD KAMY's ethos is putting people at the center of climate action. Community empowerment can ensure that inclusive policymaking translates to meaningful implementation and regulation, and thus ensuring impactful and meaningful action By using a range of strategies such as producing reports, visual items, media work, community events, strategic projects, and prolific social media output, we can engage with a wide cross-section of the Malaysian public.

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.
