Paris Agreement Thailand
Paris was the first time that 134 countries known as the G77 and China agreed to adopt such an international climate agreement. Including Thailand, some members of the group of countries stated that the text could not respond to requests from all parties. But it is the most balanced deal that all developers will work together and look forward to implementation, the G77 source said. Following the summit, the Climate Action Tracker (CAT) research group released a report concluding that agreements reached by world leaders on key climate actions will ensure that the 1.5°C target remains unattainable. Thailand will have a lot to do after the adoption of the new Paris Climate Agreement on Saturday, as it looks forward to joining climate negotiations next year as G77 chair. “We still have work to do after that to work together to comply with the agreement.” More work, including the new, more difficult goal that needs to be revised, he added, the implementation of the MRV will require more resources. Thailand has committed to reducing its greenhouse gas emissions by 7% by 2020 compared to the planned status quo – a level of emissions that would result only if past future development trends followed and no action was taken. Indigenous peoples` representatives raise issues related to the climate agreement because they have no human rights perspective, while leaving behind marginalized groups of people. The human rights and rights of indigenous peoples are not recognized in Article Two of the text of the Paris Agreement, which refers to the implementation of the agreement to maintain the rise in global temperature. The agreement therefore sets a timetable for them to return to the negotiating table every five years with stricter plans. The first will take place in 2020. Each country will also be required to implement a system for measuring, reporting and verifying (MRV) the target progress of inDCs. “This will make Thailand more responsible, especially if it has to return every five years with a new destination,” said Prasert Sirinapaporn, Thailand`s deputy delegate to the Paris climate talks.
A new Paris Climate Agreement, adopted Saturday night by 195 parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), sets a long-term goal to move to a carbon-free economy. All the countries of the parties have agreed to adopt this historic agreement. However, national greenhouse gas emission reduction targets will be based on individual plans.

Tackling “short-lived climate pollutants” (PCLs) – including methane, soot, ground-level ozone or hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) – is crucial to reducing global warming in the short term and improving human well-being. Thailand became the twenty-sixth member country of the GGGI in January 2016. Stresses the importance of improving the reliability of the electricity grid, reducing dependence on natural gas-fired electricity generation, increasing the use of clean coal technologies and developing renewable energy. Objective: Energy security: Managing the growing demand for electricity in accordance with the National Economic and Social Development Plan and taking into account fuel diversification Economy: Maintaining reasonable electricity production costs for long-term economic competitiveness Ecology: Reducing the carbon dioxide intensity of electricity production. Thai Energy Development Plan (2015-2036). GGGI has been working with the Royal Thai government since 2014 to help the country reduce the country`s greenhouse gas emissions by developing green growth. GGGI worked with ONEP to develop a practical and achievable GHG reduction roadmap for the industrial sector, accounting for 38% of GDP and at least 23% of emissions.
Krisada Boonchai, coordinator of Thai Climate Justice for All (TCJA), also expressed concern about the government`s ambiguous calculation on its greenhouse gas reduction, which may call into question the integrity of Thailand`s climate efforts. The debate on fiscal issues was resolved as developed countries agreed to play a leading role in mobilizing $100 billion a year in financial support to developing countries by 2020. At the December 30 climate summit, General Prayut said Thailand, as chair of the G77, would commit to working with parties to the UNFCCC at next year`s climate conference in Morocco. M. Phirun insisted that Thailand`s climate commitments announced at COP26 are in line with the Paris Agreement, noting that a country`s commitments must be consistent with its ability to adapt and transition to a decarbonized society. An October 21, 2020 report from the Bangkok Post discussed the Thai government`s recent plan to finalize the country`s first climate change bill. In this context, “the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Environment will submit a bill to Cabinet for approval by the end of the year.” Environment Minister Varawut Silpa-Archa stressed the need for a climate change project in Thailand, as it will support the country`s efforts to protect the environment and promote its economy. As part of global efforts to combat climate change, Thailand last year submitted its plan to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 20-25% below normal levels by 2030 and ratified the Paris Agreement, which came into force on November 4, 2016. “GGGI is committed and determined to help Thailand achieve its NDC and green growth goals by working in partnership to implement the measures and achieve the roadmap goals,” said Dr. Frank Rijsberman, Chief Executive Officer of GGGI. Thailand is certainly moving in the right direction to tackle climate change issues across the country.
Once the law is applied, it will help facilitate appropriate measures to reduce the amount of greenhouse gas emissions generated by Thailand. Most importantly, it will seek to strengthen Thailand`s commitments under the Paris Agreement by ensuring that various factories, companies and industries reduce their respective CARBON footprints. Krisada said that as Thailand has agreed to a long-term strategy to develop low greenhouse gas emissions (LT-LEDS) that points the way to climate neutrality by 2050, it is important that every stakeholder group makes efforts to decarbonize, especially energy and transport systems. . The Government will take legal and policy action to improve carbon pricing. The Ministry of Alternative Energy and Efficiency plans to implement a pilot program for energy certificates. The Greenhouse Gas Management Organization of Thailand intends to expand and improve the existing climate protection and credit programmes to introduce additional carbon pricing instruments such as a mandatory emissions trading scheme following the adoption of the Climate Change Act and other laws. Forward-thinking companies recognize the transformative benefits of setting an ambitious energy productivity target while making an important contribution to the transition to a low-carbon economy. . Science objectives enable companies to do their part to achieve this goal while using climate protection as a driver of innovation, competitiveness, risk management and growth. Thailand`s overall climate performance is weak, despite some good intentions.
Thailand has not identified any ambitions with its updated NDC. Its old and new objectives do not reflect an equitable contribution. In addition, Thailand is unlikely to achieve its objectives under the current policy, but only with its planned policies, which have not yet been implemented and need to be revised. The country needs to implement its mitigation policy more strongly in order to achieve its climate goals. Thailand`s current policy projections, which do not meet its climate commitments, are a disappointing trend, as the country had already set an initially high baseline for its NDC targets before the COVID-19 pandemic. The recent shift in the country`s energy sector planning from coal dependence on natural gas over the next two decades reduces overall emission trajectories, but still tightens fossil fuel (gas) sequestration and delays significant decarbonization efforts. The transport sector is the fastest contributor to climate change, accounting for 23% of global energy-related greenhouse gas emissions. Electric transport offers an important solution to reduce millions of tons of greenhouse gas emissions per year and to reduce traffic-related air and noise pollution. The Ministry of Alternative Energy Development and Efficiency plans to implement an energy performance certificate pilot program targeting 20 to 30 production sites with high greenhouse gas emissions in 2021. The Department aims to learn from this pilot program in order to be better prepared to implement a more comprehensive data collection program in the next phase. The plan was postponed during the COVID-19 pandemic because the implementation of the pilot program in this unusual situation will distort the alkaline energy consumption of the industries of their usual activities. .
