KAMY is a climate justice movement led by youth in Malaysia. They believe that supporting vulnerable groups like Indigenous communities, women, and youth, nurturing meaningful partnerships, and strengthening constituencies across civil society organizations set the foundation for a people's led climate action.
Their Story
Since April 2019, we have powered a range of bottom-up strategies to empower the communities through multi-language advocacy, climate protests, capacity building workshops, community awareness to reach the broader demographic. We must break the urban and western narrative of the climate discourse and nurture discussions centered on justice and human rights.

Aroe Ajoeni (she/her)
Co-founder of KAMY
Aroe is a university student who actively speaks about the climate crisis in Malaysia. Now, she is one of the young people in Klima Action Malaysia (KAMY) who builds capacity of other youth to fight the climate crisis.
​
For Aroe, the climate crisis is not just a youth issue, but a health and socio-economic issue of the people. As KAMY's technical officer and head of the research team, she focuses on the production of visual content to provide a platform for marginal communities such as the indigenous people; in the formation of a citizen-based discourse of the climate, which is often underestimated by many.
