Thailand Enhances Climate Ambitions Post-COP28

Chief of Climate Change, Phirun Saiyasitpanich, announced at a briefing that the updated target will be reflected in a revised Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) document planned for next year.

Thailand is committed to achieving carbon neutrality by 2050 and net zero by 2065, but requires international financial support.

The submission of Thailand's inaugural climate change bill, which supports emission reduction through carbon pricing, is anticipated in parliament early next year.

COP28 also saw the approval of a monitoring tool, the Global Stocktake, and the establishment of a Loss and Damage Fund, which Thailand benefited from through a starting budget of $792 million.

Environment Minister Pol Gen Patcharawat Wongsuwan emphasized Thailand's dedication to reducing emissions across all sectors and increasing public awareness.

German Ambassador Ernst Reichel commended Thailand’s climate actions and confirmed Germany's continued support for Thailand's sustainable transition. COP28, the most significant global climate conference to date, occurred from November 30 to December 12.
