Thailand’s 2nd Updated Nationally Determined Contribution(NDC).

This Thailand’s 2nd Updated Nationally Determined Contribution(NDC) is a nationwide multi-sectoral policy document for the time frame of 2021-2030. The policy document indicates that Thailand intends to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 30 percent from the projected business-as-usual (BAU) level by 2030. The level of contribution could increase up to 40 percent, subject to adequate and enhanced access to technology development and transfer, financial resources and capacity building support. Furthermore, Thailand will continue vigorous efforts in its challenge to meet the long-term goal of carbon neutrality by 2050 and net-zero greenhouse gas emission by 2065.
In addition to mitigation efforts, Thailand has developed its first National Adaptation Plan (NAP) to provide a framework towards a climate-resilient society with the focus on water management, agriculture and food security, tourism, health, natural resource management, and human settlement and security. The NAP aims to build adaptive capacity and enhance climate resilience in the above mentioned 6 priority sectors. Agriculture and food security sector aims to maintain productivity and food security by increasing the ability to respond and manage climate risks in the agricultural sector. Water resources management sector aims to increase water security and reduce loss and damage from water-related disasters by developing mechanisms and approaches for integrated water resources management and building adaptive capacity and climate resilience to manage climate risks in water resources management. Natural resources management sector aims to sustainably manage natural resources and biodiversity to respond to climate change impacts by enhancing the conservation, rehabilitation, and sustainable use of natural resources and biodiversity and strengthening public participation. Tourism sector aims to strengthen the capacity of the tourism sector towards climate resilience and sustainable growth by enhancing disaster management and climate risk reduction. Public health sector aims to enhance the capacity of the public health system to manage health risks and reduce health impacts from climate change by developing health impact surveillance and prevention mechanisms and enhancing access to good quality public health services.
