Overview

Klima Action Malaysia (KAMY) is a climate justice and feminist organisation advocating for Malaysia's declaration of a climate emergency and recognising environmental rights in Malaysia's constitution. Through a rights-based approach, we engage both state and non-state actors to promote narratives of a just and equitable world. Furthermore, we work to empower vulnerable communities, such as Indigenous People, women, and youth, to actively participate in climate governance and decision-making. Our role also involves ensuring that businesses and government entities fulfil their responsibilities as duty-bearers. Additionally, we are dedicated to coalition-building, fostering knowledge and resilience. As a registered organisation from 2020, we concentrate on five synergistic key areas within our human rights-based approach: Indigenous People, Gender and Women, Business and Human Rights, Climate Communication, and Just Energy Transition. We're also committed to coalition building and are founding members and current committees of GDIMY and PHSKLU, along with a secretariat role in the Feminist Convening Asia. Currently we have 6 staff working on several programs under the five key areas mentioned above.
