What's RUUPIN & how does this affect me? RUUPIN (Rang Undang-Undang Perubahan Iklim Negara) is the proposed Climate Change Act for Malaysia. It aims to establish a legal framework for addressing climate change issues in the country. Like any major legislation, it might affect various aspects of life in Malaysia. While the specific impacts will depend on the final content of the act (that's why our input is critical!), climate policies typically touch on areas such as: Energy and utilities : RUUPIN might influence energy production methods, potentially affecting electricity costs and availability of different energy sources. Transportation and infrastructure : The act could impact public transportation systems, road development, and incentives for low-emission vehicles. Business and industry regulations : New emissions standards or reporting requirements might be introduced, potentially changing how businesses operate. Urban and rural development : RUUPIN could affect building codes, land use planning, and strategies for climate-resilient development in both cities and rural areas. Environmental management : The act might introduce new policies on forest conservation, waste management, or water resource protection. and more... Why does it matter NOW? Why does it matter NOW? After multiple changes in government, Malaysia's Climate Change Act has been postponed repeatedly . We're long overdue for this crucial framework, especially as many countries worldwide have already implemented similar legislation. Malaysia needs to catch up not only to meet international standards and commitments, but more importantly, to protect its people from the increasing impacts of climate change. The climate crisis is intensifying, and we can't afford further delays. Rakyat must be proactive in demanding solutions - we need a climate change act that protects people and the planet, ensures polluters pay for environmental damage, and prioritises people's wellbeing over corporate profits. As Malaysia prepares to chair ASEAN next year , we have a unique opportunity to lead by example. A robust, rights-based climate change act could position Malaysia as a regional leader in climate policy. This is our chance to walk the talk and show our commitment to addressing the climate crisis. The current consultation period is an opportunity for citizens to shape this important legislation. Your voice can influence the act's direction and effectiveness. What can I do? What can I do? If this feels like a lot to process, don't worry. You can follow the guide we've prepared and consider submitting your comments on RUUPIN. Remember, you can do this as an individual or even team up with a group to share your thoughts. Your input matters in shaping this important legislation. This initiative is empowered by The Fund for Global Human Rights [Legal Empowerment Fund]

  • KAMY 2020 Message | KAMY

    Be part of the change in 2020 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. Read our impact snapshot of the activities we have run since our inception nine months ago, 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 & Energy Transition Report | Klima Action Malaysia (KAMY)

    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.
