The Minister of Natural Resources and Environment has invited all sectors to brainstorm ideas on greenhouse gas reduction, while pushing the Climate Change Bill as the main mechanism to improve the country’s environmental standards.

 

At the Climate Care Forum #1, the Minister of Natural Resources and Environment Varawut Silpa-archa delivered special remarks on the topic “Survive Climate’s Tipping Point,” where he invited all sectors to share ideas on how to slow down climate change.

 

Mr. Varawut said the world needs to help slow the climate clock, by preventing the world’s climate from rising more than 1.5 degrees centigrade over the next 6 years.

 

On Thailand’s climate change actions, the Environment Minister said Thailand is now on track to reduce the Nationally Determined Contribution of greenhouse gas, or NDC, by 20-25% by 2030, by minimizing greenhouse gas emissions from the energy sector, industrial sector, consumption and waste management.

 

He said the government is now pushing for the enactment of the Climate Change Bill, to serve as the main mechanism for addressing environmental issues and helping to upgrade Thailand’s environmental standards. An important factor for the success, however, is strong cooperation between the government, private firms and the people.

 

The Climate Care Forum #1 is an online seminar held to celebrate the first anniversary of the Care for the Whale project, which is a cooperation between the Stock Exchange of Thailand and some 30 organizations on Ratchadaphisek Road working on waste management.

 

The project has, over the past year, successfully reduced emissions of some 4.26 million kilograms of carbon-dioxide equivalent, comparable the planting of 474,277 10-year-old trees.

These oft spouted arbitrary figures and time frames do nothing but convince people that the climate change folks are nutters. Any reasonable person will agree that humans pollute the planet far too much, and is willing to take all reasonable measures to deal with that.

Wonderful. Perhaps he will recommend, to his cabinet colleagues, the re-introduction of democracy to Thailand.

Here are three ideas for the 'brain storm' festival.

a) Get rid of diesel and polluting vehicles on the roads

b) Properly monitor factories for emissions and.... (this next one will blow your mind)

c) STOP OPEN BURNING!!! - primarily stop agriculture burning.

By tractors instead of military bling.  The payback in health and tourism will be huge.

In Thailand, air pollution is the leading cause of premature deaths of more than 14,000 people in six provinces, accounting for approximately $ 5 billion in economic losses, or 149,367,000,000. Bangkok has lost economic value from PM2.5 pollution of more than US $ 3.5 billion or about 104,557,000,000 baht, accounting for 5% of the province's gross domestic product (city'sGDP), with PM 2.5 toxic dust causing the waste. The premature life of nearly 10,000 people in Bangkok, the province of death from PM 2. The fifth highest was in Thailand, followed by Chiang Mai, Chon Buri, Samut Sakhon, Khon Kaen and Rayong. And economic activities in the province While Thailand has taken lockdown measures to cope with the COVID-19 outbreak. It's been several months But the air pollution problem is not reduced at all. And is threatening public health And the economy continuously Unless the air pollution crisis is solved.
