Abstract

In Thailand climate change has been integrated into the formulation of several national plans and policies. Both the public and private sector have been actively involved in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, with a series of measures and actions implemented in each sector. The development of renewable energy and the promotion of energy conservation and efficiency have been the primary means to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions in Thailand and though it has made significant progresses toward green and low-carbon development, there is a need to further address the issue.
