去年12月的巴黎气候峰会接纳了巴黎协议,这是在2020前克服气候问题的国际协议。签署联合国气候变化框架公约(UNFCCC)即同意加紧气候行动去改善气候系统以及它对人类社会的负面影响。   马来西亚是参与讨论和接纳协议的197个国家之一,接着与175个国家于4月22日在纽约签署了公约。如今,是付诸行动的时候了。   在巴黎峰会热身期间,马来西亚也和其他国家提呈了国家自定预期贡献书(INDCs),宣称对比2005年国内生产总值的排放量,将在2030年减排45%。这包括在受到发达国家提供气候融资、科技转移和能力建设之后,无条件减排35%和有条件减排10%。我国在新公约的谈判中,不断维护UNFCCC的原则和规定,强调协议是根据公约。以至发达国家提供气候融资、科技转移和能力建设被保留。   首相纳吉于2009年出席哥本哈根峰会,誓言在2020年将根据2005年国内生产总值减排40%的发言中,呼吁提供融资的意愿是明显的,有关要求也在过后的场合中重复。   可是,离开巴黎将近8个月,马来西亚却在UNFCCC的金融机构,绿色气候基金(GCF)提供融资之时落在后头。该金融机构的任务,是协助发展中国家转型为低排以及在可持续发展上适应气候变化。   许多国家已经提呈基金建议给GCF,至今获得批准的工程和计划接近4亿4千万美元。这些基金是注入到减缓和适应计划,也包括加强发展中国家的组织架构,以便建立适当的气候行动计划。   在通往GCF融资的准备中,在5月份,49个国家已经获得储备拨款加强指定国家机构(NDA)或焦点,以及推行它们的发展计划。马来西亚的指定国家机构/焦点,就是自然资源与环境部属下的环境管理和气候变化局。   GCF是在去年发放拨款。举个例子,我们的邻国越南,已经通过建议“改善沿海弱势社区对气候变化带来的影响和应变能力”,而在GCF理事会在6月份开会时。获得2千950万美元拨款。   不幸的是,我们还在等候大马提呈建议。不管是储备拨款或一项工程建议,以及在等候评估或审批。   不要忘记,大马也是GCF的12名理事成员之一,而且在这个管理组织代表发展中国家。   在科技的前端,大马也是获得UNFCCC支持,26个全球技术需求评估(TNA)计划第二期的国家之一。可是,当这项计划在2014年推行之后,大马依然守株待兔,而落在寮国、柬埔寨、泰国、印尼和越南之后。   在这些日子来,大马已发生气候激变所导致的天灾,如2014年尾大水灾,造成为数千万令吉的损失,尤其是农业。吉兰丹州的损失记录,达到1亿零500万令吉。   热浪所造成损失,没有人进行评估。它迫使公众装置冷气,肯定增加不少电费。(农民的损失,也以千万为数) 大马自然之友(SAM)呼吁大马提高气候激变的醒觉,气候威胁就在前头,不断靠近我们,因此其行动必须符合人民的需求。   UNFCCC属下包括GCF和TNA的计划,可以协助大马一同应对气候激变。通过金融和技术资源,以及环境部属下气候激变局的功能,亦可获取GCF拨款克对气候。   这里有可以利用的国际资源,大马必须跟进其他发展中国家严肃的看待气候,进入GCF获取金融资源,然后善用我们的气候科技。   迟疑是无可原谅的。因此自然之友呼吁马来西亚政府马上行动,而且动作要坚定和快。     大马自然之友主席

Testimonials

Sahabat Alam Malaysia adalah satu badan bukan kerajaan (NGO) yang telah sekian lama berjuang mempertahan kelestarian alam. Ia juga mendidik masyarakat tentang pentingnya kebersamaan dalam pemikiran dan tindakan agar alam ini dapat kita wariskan kepada generasi hadapan dalam keadaan yang elok dan terpelihara. Dalam pada itu juga SAM giat membantu golongan nelayan pantai dalam memperjuangkan hak-hak mereka sehinggalah tertubuhnya Persatuan Pendidikan dan Kebajikan Nelayan Pantai Malaysia (JARING). Nelayan pantai sepenuh masa ini dididik oleh SAM sehingga mereka mampu memainkan peranan sebagai pemimpin nelayan yang meneruskan kesinambungan memperjuangkan hak-hak nelayan pantai lainnya. Sebagai contoh SAM telah berjaya menyedarkan masyarakat nelayan keperluan menjaga hutan paya bakau untuk kebaikan hasil tangkapan nelayan itu sendiri.

During the 1980s, I used to read about the Consumers’ Association of Penang (CAP) in the news. After retirement, some time in 2001, while lazing around, I read news about the construction of a carbon in leach plant using sodium cyanide to extract gold in Bukit Koman. My friends and I visited CAP and we were introduced to SAM and her legal team. We discussed the details of filing a case against the gold mining company and the department of environment with Ms Meenakshi Raman and her legal team. That was the beginning of a beautiful friendship between lawyers from SAM and many of us from Bukit Koman. We had many ups and downs in our struggle to shut down the gold mine that was causing a nuisance in our village. But, as a community we never gave up because SAM had our backs.

Sahabat Alam Malaysia adalah sebuah NGO yang memperjuangkan nasib masyarakat luar bandar khasnya. SAM menerima aduan-aduan masyarakat dan menyelesaikan masalah yang dihadapi. SAM telah mewujudkan ramai aktivis-aktivis sosial dan alam sekitar. Pada era 1980 dan 90an SAM sangat dihormati oleh masyarakat dan agensi kerajaan. Apabila media sosial menguasai maklumat maka SAM pun terkesan dan masalah masyarakat terus disalurkan dengan pelbagai cara. SAM perlu mewujudkan aktivis-aktivis pelapis yang muda untuk terus membantu masyarakat. SAM juga perlu membuat perubahan supaya banyak turun kelapangan dan jangan mengharapkan laporan media sahaja. Tingkatkan prestasi sebagaimana pada zaman kegemilangan SAM di era 80-90an.

SAM taught me the importance of social activism and the role it plays in upholding the rights of people and the protection of the environment. In my experience, SAM has never hesitated to speak up in defence of people and their environment, and has gone the extra mile to champion their rights, by helping communities take their battles to the higher ups and even to the courts.

Semenjak kami kenal SAM, banyak pengalaman dan pengetahuan yg kami dapat. Kami telah belajar cara membuat baja asli daripada SAM. Semenjak itu, bermulalah minat kami dalam aktiviti pertanian. Dengan memperolehi kemahiran dalam membuat baja asli dan penanaman lestari, kami juga telah dapat menambahkan pendapatan sampingan kami. Ini lebih baik daripada tanah kami terbiar dan tidak diusahakan. Terima kasih SAM kerana sudi memberi bantuan dan tunjuk ajar kepada Persatuan kami.

My journey with SAM started when her community organisers took me to the meet the paddy farmers of Kedah, connecting my growing interest in environmental law with our people who struggle to work the land in the face of pollution, replacement of traditional seeds with commercial hybrids and their accompanying chemical package of fertilisers and weedicides. I then had the honour to work with SAM in the struggle for the rights of the native communities of Sarawak, in defence of their forests from massive logging and destructive mega-projects. In every issue that SAM takes up, she combines rigorous research with the realities and voices of the communities to advocate for policies and laws that care for people and nature. From the courts to the elected legislators to policy makers and implementers and to the United Nations, SAM walks side by side with the communities in Malaysia. How can I not be inspired by the vision and passion of the generations of women and men who coalesce to form SAM?
