Thailand to Work with International Partners toward Net Zero Emissions

[webfact]

 

Minister of Natural Resources and Environment Varawut Silpa-Archa announced Thailand’s framework to help international partners pursue their goals of zero greenhouse gas emissions and limiting the rising temperature.

 

Minister Varawut said the upcoming 2021 UN climate change conference or COP26 which will take place next week will urge member nations to take climate change more seriously by rolling out measures and policies that help the world attain net zero emissions by 2050.

 

The United Kingdom as the host of the conference, along with other developed nations, is expected to channel 100 billion US dollars a year to less wealthy nations including Thailand to help them through the transition phase.

 

Unlike wealthy nations, Minister Varawut said Thailand will take much longer and more effort to acquire enough resources including financial ones to achieve the net zero goal. However, eventually, Thailand will have to make some adjustments in order to reach the said goal, but it has to do it in a way that burdens are not put solely on the public.

 

COP26 will be held in Glasgow, Scotland between October 31 and November 12. Prime Minister General Prayut Chan-O-Cha is slated to take part in the conference and he will highlight Thailand’s endeavor to address global warming issues.

I am thinking that Government really does operate in a parallel universe.

Have any of the officials ever looked out their aircraft windows when flying over BKK or most cities in Thailand?

Have they never heard of plastics and motor vehicle emissions?

I think nurse needs to bring the medications so they can adjust to reality

Blimey, nearly fell off my tuk-tuk !

Didn't Thailand just ban suncream in a bid to save coral reefs? Quite the joke, when some of us have seen the sewage pumped into the sea in places like the start of walking street in pattaya. 

 

 Should help the tourism drive no end.

As biggext offenders USA, China & India are not cutting carbon emissions or plastic / chemical pollution it matters not what the rest of the world does…….. except in the Green Eco Political Points Scoring Game played now by All Politicians.

Lip service. 

 

Anyone who has seen the public buses, TukTuks, cement trucks etc. knows that nobody in authority here cares about emissions (except the police who use it to extort the driver for 200 Baht before sending them on their way).

Thailand can't even work with their backyard partners ASEAN, so there is no way they, the hub of the universe will be able to work at an international level.

US Not cutting?

Although the U.S. reduction seems low percentage-wise, it translates to a total annual reduction of about 760 million metric tons since 2005, almost as much as the reduction in the European Union as a whole (770 million metric tons). For comparison, the United States has emitted 6,000 – 7,300 million metric tons of CO2 equivalent each year between 1990 and 2014. Second place in absolute emissions decline in that period goes to the United Kingdom, with a reduction of 170 million metric tons, nearly a quarter of total U.S. reductions.    https://www.eesi.org/articles/view/u.s.-leads-in-greenhouse-gas-reductions-but-some-states-are-falling-behind

It will never happen.  Everyday millions of Thais cook their foods and sticky rice using wood and coal for heat source.  They burn their trash, which often contains toxic materials.  When the rice is harvested the by products are also burned. Many times, perhaps  in February,  one can walk outside and smell the air thick with smoke from fires being burnt throughout Thailand.   It's a goal to help the environment,  and to better the air for the people, but the poor and farmers don't care.  They will continue  to burn waste and cook using sticks, grass, plastic, coal, and anything  else they can ignite.

What are they proposing to do about the "emissions" (C02 ,Methane) from the almost 8 billion and continuously rising global human population ?

I'm looking forward to the "democratic soldier"  being slated at the conference ????

assuming it will be a virtual conference   wouldn't want to be causing all those "emissions" by flying there and back.

"Minister of Natural Resources and Environment Varawut Silpa-Archa announced Thailand’s framework to help international partners pursue their goals of zero greenhouse gas emissions and limiting the rising temperature."

 

The most significant greenhouse gas by far, is water vapor. How is Thailand going to stop the evaporation of water? ????

[unblocktheplanet]

Maybe start with the burning, smog & dust season and we might start to believe you!

Don't preach to other member nations, just get your own back-garden into shape.
