KAMY is a feminist climate justice organisation advancing rights-based, gender-responsive climate governance in Malaysia.
Since 2020, we've worked at the intersection of climate action and social justice, bridging grassroots communities—especially women, Indigenous Peoples, and youth—with policy-makers to ensure Malaysia's climate response centers the most vulnerable.
Through research, advocacy, and coalition-building, we translate complex climate policies into accessible action while platforming marginalized voices in spaces where critical decisions about our climate future are made.

Do you know about Malaysia's Climate Change Bill (RUUPIN) ?
Our Principles & approach
Rights-based &
gender responsive
Every climate policy, every energy transition, every adaptation plan must protect human rights and address how climate change affects people differently based on gender, class, and identity. We integrate feminist analysis into all our advocacy, ensuring no one is left behind in Malaysia's climate response.
Decolonising
climate discourse
We challenge the dominance of Global North narratives in climate conversations. Through community-centered research, grassroots storytelling, and Indigenous knowledge systems, we amplify local voices and solutions rooted in Malaysian realities.
Bridging complex
to accessible
Climate policy shouldn't be locked away in technical jargon. We translate complex legal frameworks, energy systems, and international negotiations into accessible information that empowers communities to engage meaningfully in decisions affecting their lives.
Coalition building across movements
Climate justice intersects with every struggle for equity. We build alliances across women's rights, Indigenous sovereignty, food sovereignty, labor rights, and environmental movements - recognising that our fights are interconnected and our solutions must be too.
Data-driven &
grounded on lived realities
Our advocacy combines research with lived experiences from the ground. We fill critical data gaps while ensuring community voices and stories remain at the center of our policy work.
OUR Focus areas
Just Energy Transition (JET)
Our JET work encompasses:
Research & Policy Development
-
Through our JETBHR research, we produced Malaysia's first comprehensive analysis applying Business and Human Rights principles to energy transition, offering concrete policy recommendations for state and corporate actors.
-
Contributed human rights and community engagement perspectives to Malaysia's Sustainable Energy Development Authority (SEDA) in developing the National Renewable Energy Policy Document and Action Plan (Phase 2), helping shape the country's renewable energy framework and implementation strategy.
Asia Feminist Coalition
-
We are a founding member of the Asia Feminist Coalition, launched in 2022 with Oxfam International and partners across the region.
-
In 2023, we co-authored the regional policy brief “Towards a Feminist Just Energy Transition in Asia.”
-
As part of Malaysia’s 2025 ASEAN chairmanship, we’re co-organised a regional dialogue with AFC and our regional partners on gender and just energy transition (JET–GENDER), and coordinated conversations on the labour impacts of energy transition—especially on women and workers.
Media & Comms
Since 2022, our Lensa Iklim programme has been crucial in building climate journalism capacity, training 50+ journalists and producing investigative features on energy transition issues from hydropower impacts to solar waste management.
Business & Human Rights (BHR)
NAPBHR (National Action Plan on Business and Human Rights)
-
As the lead for the Environment chapter in Malaysia’s Baseline Assessment on Business and Human Rights (NAPBHR), we identified critical policy gaps in corporate environmental accountability.
-
We continue to advocate for the constitutional right to a clean and healthy environment, alongside the enactment of a Climate Change Act with binding targets.
-
Our work advances corporate accountability frameworks that ensure businesses respect, protect, and remedy both environmental and human rights.
JET-BHR
JET-BHR In Peninsular Malaysia - Towards a Just Energy Transition with Business and Human Rights Principles
-
In February 2025, we published “JET-BHR in Peninsular Malaysia”—a first-of-its-kind report examining Malaysia’s energy transition through a Business and Human Rights (BHR) lens.
-
The report documents how energy transitions affect workers, Indigenous peoples, women, and other vulnerable communities.
-
It outlines key barriers and opportunities for a rights-based approach, and provides policy recommendations for duty bearers—grounded in the BHR principles of protect, respect, and remedy.
Gender & Women
CEDAW Process
-
We led Malaysia’s first comprehensive gender-climate submission to the CEDAW Committee, marking a major step in feminist climate advocacy.
-
Our official written report, “Women & Climate Crisis in Peninsula Malaysia” (April 2024), detailed the gendered impacts of climate disasters, care burdens, energy poverty, and policy gaps in Malaysia’s climate response.
-
As a result, we secured substantive recommendations on climate change and just energy transition in the CEDAW Concluding Observations—creating binding obligations for the Malaysian government.
Gender Budget Group
-
As part of Malaysia’s Gender Budget Group (GBG), we contributed climate justice perspectives to national budget advocacy in 2024.
-
At the Gender Lens on Budget 2025 roundtable, we highlighted the disproportionate climate impacts on women and called for a national baseline on gendered climate risks and stronger climate-environment SDG tagging.
-
We also engaged Members of Parliament to promote gender-responsive budgeting frameworks that integrate care work, climate resilience, and inclusive energy transition.
-
Our work supports ongoing efforts to institutionalise gender-responsive approaches in climate finance governance.
Legal Empowerment
Malaysia's Climate Change Bill (RUUPIN) Advocacy
-
We led extensive advocacy on Malaysia’s upcoming Climate Change Bill (RUUPIN), utilising a rights-based and inclusive approach.
-
Through urgent public outreach, we engaged a wide range of civil society groups—including women’s rights organisations, youth networks, Indigenous advocates, and persons with disabilities—to provide substantive feedback on the bill draft.
-
To strengthen public participation, we developed accessible climate communication tools in both English and Bahasa Melayu, including one-pagers and explainer videos—ensuring more people could engage with policy processes that shape their future.
Universal Periodic Review (UPR) Process
-
We have been actively engaged in Malaysia’s Universal Periodic Review (UPR) process since early 2023, working through the COMANGO coalition.
-
KAMY contributed to the Joint NGO Report submitted in July 2023, ensuring the inclusion of critical perspectives on environmental rights, just energy transition, and gender-climate intersections.
-
As a result, Malaysia’s UPR in January 2024 saw the adoption of landmark recommendations—calling for gender-responsive climate policies, stronger environmental governance, and the protection of vulnerable groups in the face of climate impacts.
Indigenous
Peoples
Weaving Hopes for the Future
-
Launched in 2021, this Indigenous-led initiative amplifies the voices of Peninsular Malaysia’s Orang Asli especially young women- through art, film, and cultural storytelling.
-
From highlighting the issue of Loss and Damage at COP26 to producing a community report on the Jakun people in Pahang presented at COP27 and COP28, the programme centers Indigenous knowledge in climate discourse.
Sekolah Iklim
-
A report that elevates the role of Orang Asli youth in climate governance. It documents the impact of logging, monocrop plantations, mining, and weak disaster response on Indigenous communities.
-
The report calls for urgent reforms to protect Indigenous land and cultural rights, in alignment with the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) and SUHAKAM’s national recommendations.
Climate
Communications
Lensa Iklim
-
Our flagship climate journalism programme (2022-2025) strengthens Malaysia's media capacity to report on climate change and energy transition with depth and accuracy.
-
We've trained 50+ journalists and editors across Malaysia, equipping them with the skills to cover complex climate issues. Through structured mentorship, we've supported the production of 10+ original investigative stories spotlighting climate change, energy transition, and environmental justice.
-
In February 2023, we published "Climate And Energy Transition Reporting In Peninsular Malaysia's Mainstream News Media". This research conducted systematic content analysis, identifying coverage gaps and providing a roadmap for improved climate communication strategies.
-
Through ongoing curriculum development and mentorship support, Lensa Iklim is building a generation of climate-literate journalists who can translate complex climate science and policy into accessible public discourse, fundamentally improving how Malaysians understand and engage with climate issues.
