Klima Action Malaysia - KAMY

Klima Action Malaysia (KAMY) is a women-led climate justice and feminist organisation, addressing climate and environmental justice with a strong focus on women empowerment. We raise awareness and build movements by engaging state and non-state actors to promote rights-based approaches of a just and equitable world, grounded in decolonisation frameworks. In these areas, we collaborate with marginalised communities, especially women, Indigenous Peoples, and youth, to actively participate in climate governance and decision-making processes. Our initiatives include advocating for policy and legal reform, such as Malaysia's declaration of a climate emergency, and recognising environmental rights within the constitution. We're also committed to coalition building and are founding members of Malaysia's Climate Emergency Coalition (GDIMY) and the climate crisis thematic lead in the Asia Feminist Coalition to amplify gender-responsive climate solutions. KAMY is currently serving on the advisory panel for climate change under Malaysia's Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources (NRES) and actively engaging with Malaysia's Member of Parliament on gender responsive climate governance. By decolonising knowledge creation to foster resilience, we address gender disparities and dismantle systemic oppression that perpetuates the climate crisis. As a registered organisation from 2020, we concentrate on six synergistic key areas within our human rights-based approach: Indigenous People, Gender and Women Empowerment, Business and Human Rights, Climate Communication, and Just Energy Transition and Legal Empowerment. Currently we have 8 staff working on several programs under the six key areas mentioned above.
