Global Warming, Global Crisis: A Major National Problem That Needs to Be Addressed – Unveiling the “2025 World Crisis Response Plan,” Thailand Accelerates Risk Data Preparation – Towards the ASEAN Carbon Hub
It cannot be denied that global warming and the global crisis are escalating worldwide. Thailand is also significantly affected by this issue. In 2024, the country faced many challenges related to this, prompting relevant agencies to step up efforts to implement measures to respond to the global crisis.
Dr. Pirun Saiyasit, Director-General of the Department of Climate Change and Environmental Affairs, spoke about the 2025 World Crisis Response Plan, stating that Thailand must accelerate risk data collection and prioritize actions at the provincial, district, and sub-district levels to effectively respond to various events. For instance, in 2024, the risk data was not sufficient at the provincial, district, and sub-district levels, causing many areas to struggle to cope with natural disaster crises. Moving forward, early warning systems and equipment need to be installed more effectively to alert citizens quickly and enable them to adapt to future situations.
Furthermore, regarding carbon credits, Thailand will collaborate with the Stock Exchange of Thailand to advance the voluntary carbon credit trading market, ensuring transparency in accordance with regulations and laws. This effort will drive forward under the Climate Change Act, aiming to position Thailand as the Carbon Hub of the ASEAN region.
In 2024, Thailand will lead ASEAN by expanding the T-VER and Premium T-VER standards to nine other ASEAN countries. Thailand will also be a leader in reducing carbon emissions in the cement industry, where the country is a regional leader. Thailand is ready to share its knowledge and experiences with other nations, offering a model for others to follow.
Moreover, in 2025, Thailand will continue its efforts to reduce carbon emissions effectively. It will also work on creating clear regulations for international carbon credit trading, a process that is currently open for public consultation. Plans will be developed to ensure practical implementation.
Additionally, Thailand will encourage investments that can bring foreign funds to support the country’s investments in expensive climate change technologies, particularly in agriculture and other sectors, which will use technology to transition through these challenging times.
