  • Update: KAMY report and attending COP28

    Since we sponsored KAMY in 2023, our funding has helped enhance their operational capabilities and outreach efforts. In 2023, they sent three representatives to COP28, including an Indigenous Orang Asli from Rompin to present their reports to UN mandate holders and delegates from Malaysia. Our support is helping KAMY make a huge impact, and we’re thrilled to be a part of it!

    KAMY’s Summary report from the previous funding in 2022:

    JCJ’s support has enhanced our operational capabilities and outreach efforts, as detailed below:
    1) Enhanced Digital Storage: essential for our digital campaigns and record-keeping.
    2) Improved Video Production: has expanded our presence on Instagram. We’ve been able to produce more engaging videos on topics like Just Energy Transition (JET) and feminist climate action, crucially in Bahasa, filling a significant content gap.
    3) Continued Development of Climatea: Thanks to JCJโ€™s initial funding, Climatea is expanding its influence. We’re now focused on creating a dictionary for translating climate terminologies from English to Bahasa Melayu. This effort will enhance accessibility for content creators and the general public. We’re also preparing to release COP28 terminologies tailored for our indigenous partners. Our Resource Hub, which was kickstarted by JCJโ€™s funding will also continue to expand.

    A recent update, this year KAMY was able to send three representatives to COP28, including an Indigenous Orang Asli from Rompin. This participation was vital for our advocacy and visibility. We also successfully released two significant climate reports, “Orang Jakun & The Climate Crisis” and “Heartbeat Voices from Indigenous Youth of Peninsula Malaysia,” making a profound impact in our community engagement and policy influence. These reports have not only deepened our community engagement but also significantly influenced policy discussions. We had the opportunity to present these reports to various UN mandate holders and delegates from our country at COP28.

    Your contribution has been instrumental in these successes, and we are deeply grateful for your continued support. These achievements reflect our joint commitment to fostering a robust and informed climate justice movement in Malaysia.

  • KAMY at COP 26: “Weaving Hopes For the Future”

    KAMY at COP 26: “Weaving Hopes For the Future”

    Your donations helped us to fund the โ€œWeaving Hopes For the Futureโ€ collaborative project, led by KAMY.

    It provides a space for the Indigenous youth and women to make sense of their climate realities and explores ways to communicate the climate injustice they experience to the global community. The team had an exhibit during COP26, which you can read more about here on their website – Weaving Hopes for The Future | Orang Asli & Climate Justice.

    The women of the project who work with Klima Action Malaysia also passed on powerful words during a speech at COP26 – โ€œThe fossil fuel industry is like an abusive exโ€ฆ.โ€.

    You can watch a snippet of their speech here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1szKMdHwSCOX6NeYxbDGdsr-Kf3f3BbUM/view?usp=sharing

    JCJ are very moved by all their inspiring work and feel grateful we get to support them.ย

  • Support for KAMY – Late 2020


    KAMY (Climate Action Malaysia) certainly havenโ€™t let the pandemic stop their work since their last report! JCJโ€™s financial support has allowed them to pay for their website domain, zoom account and an infographics site access. These have given them a wider reach in their country during the pandemic when so much has moved online. They have taken part in, and run, many online rallies, discussion panels, campaigns and community engagement programs. Below is a snapshot of their activities!

    One in particular, also funded by JCJ, is the Indigenous and Climate Art Project. It aims to use video to share the complex traditional knowledge held by the indigenous group KAMY are working with, and to show how climate change is affecting their way of life. The videos, which can be viewed below, promote cultural awareness in more urban Malaysian areas and stress the importance of supporting indigenous groups in their struggles.

  • 2019 Support for Klima Action Malaysia (KAMY)

    KAMY is a new grassroots youth-led climate organisation started in 2019, based in Kuala Lumpur. KAMY advocates representative climate action by empowering vulnerable groups and communities in Malaysia. Their activities include capacity-building workshops, climate protests, and community and indigenous advocacy. JCJ began a relationship with them by donating to help build their website:ย  https://en.klimaactionmalaysia.org/. This donation helped them kickstart their organisation and connect with target communities around Malaysia. It has been a valuable and versatile tool to grow their organisation through donations, subscriptions, and publicity.
