Workshop on forest governance in Peninsula Malaysia Thank you for participating in KAMY's first physical workshop in this pandemic. Forest protection in Malaysia is even more critical in this 'recovery phase', and degazetting permanent forest reserves and converting it to thousands of hectares of forest plantation (including Musang King Durian which is a species not allowed under the EIA for cultivation) is not only irresponsible but maybe a good setting for corruption. With the impending climate crisis ahead, there needs to be an oversight committee led by NGOs and the communities to monitor the state government's, particularly the MB Inc veto in land rights. The #ForestTrainingSeries will dive deeper into the intersectionalities of forest governance in Peninsula Malaysia (forest-climate-people-finance-gender), and plans for more engaging field trips to degraded forests in the northern part of Peninsula Malaysia. We had 70% of women representation in the workshop yesterday including a representative of the Orang Asli community. Well done all ya women! Also a shout out to our youth members of #GabunganDaruratIklim for this amazing collaboration! #KrisisIklim #DecentraliseForestGovernance #ClimateCrisis

< Back Principles of Climate Justice Written by: KAMY Date: 12 Apr 2021 What is climate justice? Climate justice does not literally mean ‘justice for the climate’. Climate justice is understanding that the climate crisis is not just an environmental issue alone, but also a socioeconomic, political and human rights issue. Protect and empower communities and individuals who are more vulnerable to climate impacts for full participation in the formation of solutions Those severely affected are those who pollute least. The impact of the climate crisis is different for everyone. Poor and marginal communities are more vulnerable to greater risks. For example, after a flood or drought disaster, low economic status cause wider poverty and inequality gap. Poor countries like Bangladesh and the Philippines face more extreme hurricane risks due to climate change, yet their carbon emissions are 3% and 6% respectively of the total per capita carbon emissions of the United States, one of the world’s largest carbon polluters. Intervention in gender dimension Women and men play different social roles in society, therefore, have different responsibilities and needs. They have different access to assets such as training, banking, technology and land ownership rights. Example: Rural women are highly dependent on agricultural products from their land. Male dominance over technologies such as the use of machinery and pesticides, erodes women’s knowledge and skills in terms of crop production, income and property ownership rights. This situation has made women lose their source of income. Climate change is reducing agricultural production, which is a source of income for women. Deterioration of forest produce also reduces the yield of traditional medicine that is often practiced by indigenous women. Protect future generations Intergenerational injustice exists when the older generation do not want to shape a secure future for young people. Most of the policies formed do not have enough consultation and participation from the youth. The formation of policies that are based on short-term profits alone, by placing the burden of pollution and finance on young people is irresponsible. Youth are the mandate of the country. Achieve equal rights between developed and developing countries to generate economic growth and low carbon future The carbon footprint of developed and developing countries are unequal. Developed countries have been building their wealth and economy on fossil fuels for hundreds of years. Now, the awareness to generate a green and low -carbon future is becoming increasingly real. However, global carbon emission reduction can only be done if it is done fairly; that is, there is a mechanism that allows all developing countries to achieve new and sustainable development in line with NDCs (Nationally Determined Contributions). To achieve the objective of Article 3 of the Paris Agreement; which is to increase the contribution of carbon reduction, developing countries must have global support in terms of investment, finance, technology, training and so on. However, this support has not been obtained, and developing countries are still relying on fossil fuels to power their economy until 2050. Emphasize on prevention principles in mega development projects and community consumption trends Who is responsible for managing the environment? Human over-exploitation of natural resources that cause destruction of biodiversity and extinction of species is a problem of social, ethical and economic system exploitation. This prolonged destruction has already put us at the ‘tipping point’, which is a crossroads between the collapse of the human system due to the destruction of nature AND the prosperity of our society, living in harmony with nature.

Press statement : Stop monoculture plantations in Permanent Forest Reserves Today, green NGOs of mostly youth-led, have spoken against big scale forest plantations in permanent forest reserves in Peninsular Malaysia, collectively demanding the reevaluation of the National Forest Policy. This was our press conference of Forest Plantation inside Permanent Forest Reserves in Peninsula Malaysia. The press conference was conducted by Klima Action Malaysia , alongside with the main speakers; En Meor from Sahabat Alam Malaysia, Hafiz (KUASA), Heng ( Greenpeace Malaysia) and Encik Hussaimi ( Grass society). The Malaysian government, corporation and banks have raised billions in bonds to finance coal + gas power plants in Malaysia and dying fossil fuel projects in other countries such as Indonesia. But why can't the same be done for forest protection? Despite the technical discrepancies being put forward by Encik Meor, the central question begs on the political willingness of the federal and state governments to actually protect their forests. The Central Forest Spine project is the largest conservation project in peninsula Malaysia. Ever since its adoption in the NPP until 2016, around 60,000 ha of forest cover loss was observed in the primary and secondary linkages itself. In 2017, more forest plantations have gotten the green light to operate inside Permanent Forest Reserves. Forest plantation, which is part of the national forest cover, does not have the same traditional functions of a forest in many ways, such as in biodiversity, hydrology, soil, and carbon capture and storage. This is a worrying trend as Malaysia is not prepared for the climate crisis, as exposed by the Covid-19. The IPCC findings suggest that forest protection might account to 1/3 of climate change mitigation needed to cap the temperature at 1.5 C. Transformations in forest management can serve as a new development model for indigenous land rights and climate-resilient economy. Why is the leadership of political parties in this country is steering to the wrong side when we have an opportunity for green leadership in Southeast Asia in a post-COVID-19 world?
