Siapa KAMY | Klima Action Malaysia (KAMY)

KAMY is a climate justice and feminist organisation led by young people to push for the climate emergency declaration in Malaysia. We believe that nurturing meaningful partnership, peacebuilding and strengthening constituencies across civil society organisations and vulnerable groups like Indigenous communities, women and youth, set the foundation for people-led climate action.
