The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said Thailand will affirm its commitment to mitigating the impact of climate change at the ongoing United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP25) in Madrid.
Paitoon Mahapannaporn, the deputy director-general of the Department of Asean Affairs, said Thailand will urge all parties to enhance their mitigation and adaptation actions by implementing Nationally Determined Contributions under the Paris Agreement at the climate talks on Dec 10.
“Asean will also call upon developed countries to provide assistance and support to Asean member states and other developing countries for technology development and transfer, scientific research and capacity building,” he told a forum held on the theme of “Climate Change Imperatives and Impediments: Regional Responses and Local Reactions” at Chulalongkorn University yesterday.
