Thailand faces significant climate vulnerabilities including rising temperatures, frequent floods, droughts, and coastal erosion threatening Bangkok and economic hubs. As a Paris Agreement signatory, it targets net GHG reductions of 47% by 2035 and net zero by 2065, ranking medium in CCPI with low renewable energy performance. Air quality remains stable amid urban pollution challenges, while sustainability efforts focus on climate acts and adaptation.

Índice de calidad del aire

0510

Moderado

6.0/10

Estable trend

Thailand's air quality trend is stable per database, with urban areas like Bangkok facing PM2.5 pollution from traffic and industry. Government initiatives include emissions standards, but effectiveness is moderate amid ongoing haze issues.

Calidad del agua

0510

Moderado

6.5/10

Water quality in Thailand varies, with pollution from agriculture and industry affecting rivers; coastal areas face erosion impacts. Access to safe drinking water is generally adequate in urban zones with treatment, but rural shortages occur amid climate-driven droughts.

Treatment standards exist, but contamination risks persist in flood-prone areas.

Sistema de reciclaje

Recycling infrastructure in Thailand is developing with municipal programs, but rates remain low due to limited facilities and public awareness. Focus on plastic waste reduction aligns with national policies.

Espacios verdes

Thailand maintains national parks and protected areas covering significant land, supporting biodiversity amid deforestation pressures from development.

Cobertura forestal: 35.5%

Parques nacionales: 15

National parks like Khao Yai protect ecosystems vulnerable to climate change.

Políticas medioambientales

Thailand is finalizing its first Climate Change Act for net zero by 2065, with NDC targeting 47% GHG reduction by 2035. Policies include carbon tax and ETS proposals.

Políticas clave:

•Climate Change Act
•NDC 3.0
•Paris Agreement commitments

Energía renovable: Low performance in renewables; targets aim for increase to meet net zero.

Riesgo de desastres naturales

HIGH

Thailand experiences frequent floods, droughts, storms, and coastal erosion; ranked among top flood-prone countries.

floodsdroughtsheat wavesstorms

Impactos del cambio climático: Temperatures rose 0.95°C from 1955-2009 and 1°C from 1981-2007; extreme weather frequency increasing with floods, heat waves (e.g., April 2025), and severe 2025 southern floods affecting 4M people. Sea levels projected to rise 1m in 40-100 years, eroding 30km² coastline yearly, impacting 11M people. Precipitation volatility worsens floods/droughts; GDP risks 7-14% loss by 2050 without adaptation.

Iniciativas de sostenibilidad

Renewable Energy

Thailand targets carbon neutrality by 2050 and net zero by 2065 via Climate Change Act, including ETS and carbon tax, though renewable share rated very low.

Waste Management

Initiatives like Green Bangkok 2030 promote waste reduction, emissions cuts, and better urban sustainability.

Climate Adaptation

Adaptation measures address floods and erosion, with investments to mitigate 7-14% GDP loss by 2050.
