Thailand - Country Climate and Development Report : Chapter 7 - A Roadmap for Resilient, Low-carbon Development

Overview & Synopsis

The Thailand Country Climate and Development Report (CCDR) identifies ways in which Thailand can achieve economic development that is greener and more climate resilient. This section provides a structured, actionable outline of the report’s recommendations for policymakers. To guide implementation, the recommendations are prioritized with reference to their direct impacts (on adaptation, mitigation, green growth, and climate financing objectives), their co-benefits for Thailand’s broader socio-economic development, and the desired time frame for implementation. Five key sets of measures (highlighted in blue) – on flood mitigation, water security, social protection, carbon pricing, and energy – emerge as the highest priority recommendations most deserving of urgent attention.
