“In this partnership, our department gained new knowledge and experiences from the Department of Industrial Works, World Bank experts, and others. We were able to expand our networks to students and others across the country, people who we never connected with before. Finally, we were able to get policy prototypes through a hackathon that we organized together, which solicited new ideas and approaches from stakeholders to develop a bottoms-up policy that will protect the ozone layer through the reduction of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) in Thailand.”
