GLASGOW (NNT) - Thailand’s prime minister’s participation at the COP26 climate conference has enabled Thailand to solidify its role in fighting climate change on the global stage and created awareness within the global community of Thailand’s capacity to cut emissions and achieve carbon neutrality.

 

Prime Minister Gen. Prayut Chan-o-cha has successfully presented Thailand’s intention to achieve carbon neutrality within 2050 and net zero emissions by 2065, at the 26th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26) in Glasgow, United Kingdom.

 

 

Government spokesperson Thanakorn Wangboonkongchana said that at the COP26 leaders’ summit, the prime minister reiterated Thailand’s commitment to work with the global community to respond to climate change.

 

UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson, whose government was the host of COP26, expressed admiration for Thailand’s determination to address climate change and thanked the Thai prime minister for attending the conference.

 

Britain’s Prince Charles offered his greetings to Gen. Prayut and recounted the UK’s long-time relations with Thailand. He also asked about Thailand’s Covid situation.

 

 

Gen. Prayut also spoke to US President Joe Biden to inquire about the Covid situation in the United States and to invite the president to the 2022 APEC Summit in Thailand.

 

Mr. Thanakorn said the prime minister and his entourage have departed the UK and were to arrive in Thailand this evening (3 Nov), concluding Gen. Prayut’s first overseas trip in 2 years.

Someone is telling porkies, the PM or the reporter

 

Love the last pic with the social distancing ... after god knows how many cocktail parties pressing the flesh and wheeling and dealing. 

And the world community said,

’Dont Thai me’

And thailand then showed their commitment by refusing to sign the pledge to end deforetstation by 2030

I wish the p.m. to come to Chiang Mai during the burning season TIT

2050??

He successfully presented his intention ...

Well , congratulations for that ... that is an important step for Thailand .

2050 , in 30yrs from now , the world , the environment , all will have changed a lot . The effects of climate change accelerate every year now . And that is an unstoppable process . 

the world leaders ' intentions ' to limit until 2050 or so are just blabla ... it would be a joke if it would not be so sad ...

He will do what the others do , all half - hearted commitments ... without much of an effect on the steadily progressing global warming and it's effects ...

 

No  I am no ' doomsday prophet ' , I just try to be realistic .

Pure hypocrisy .

All they are doing is signing papers and talking <deleted> ! They are absolutely clueless how to stop climate change. Still want to burn coal and wood and rape the sea, land and forests. Sometimes it is good to be an old person !

"Let me make myself clear on our approach to climate change. We will adopt the usual position. The usual spiel. Plenty of photo ops. And do <deleted> all." Keep the home fires burning!????

Nothing will ever stop the Thai pastime of burning anything and everything they can just because they can !

No matter if it’s soaking wet , plastic , toxic or produces more smoke than a volcano .

You still remember the good times ... ?

The young people now will not find it easy to remember a good time anymore .

You are privileged .

By 2050, half of Bangkok is forecast to be below sea level and all by 2100. By then, will law and order still prevail? Fortunately, I won't be around to find out.

Every decade "climate change" flip flops from being too cold and then too hot.

I thought the ozone layer and ice caps were supposed to be gone over 20 years ago?

My best times are those I do not recall.... but I do have a few ideas for when things open up. 

We all saw the often used phrase taken from Greta.."No Plan-et B"....again...they all know how Thailand works!

I wonder how Cha Chas conversation went whit all this leaders maybe something like this " uhh hello...dirty fallang...uhh...good buy krap"

Mr. "No Credibility on any level" makes a promise that means less than zero. No plans, no intentions, no volition.

 

This sad sack of a man is the very essence of all words, and no action. And at this stage who takes him seriously, anyway? Maybe Boris, but what does that mean?

Wow! 3 falsehoods in 2 sentences. Impressive!

Thanks for the link.  Unfortunately the Timeout site is suspect to me.  One of the interesting links: https://www.nestpick.com/2050-climate-change-city-index/ is also suspect.  Lots of data, but TBD accuracy

Key words being "intention to achieve" by 2030 and 2050. Current government is always happy to sign up to this just like vaccine procurement
