Climate Finance Network Thailand (CFNT) and Fair Finance Thailand (FFT) propose that climate finance should be included as a key policy platform of the new government following Thailand’s general election in February 2026. This is because the effects of global warming are adversely impacting Thai society and the economy.
Additionally, since greenhouse gas emissions from the energy sector account for 70% of Thailand’s total greenhouse gas emissions, finance in support of facilitating an energy transition to an era where renewable energy (low carbon) becomes mainstream must be an integral part of climate finance policymaking. This policy should also promote an energy transition based on the ‘Just Energy Transition’ (JET) principles, to instill confidence that the energy transition will not exacerbate existing injustices and inequities, particularly in an era when inequality in Thailand continues to be more severe and widening.
With this contextual background in mind, CFNT and FFT propose 10 financial and finance-related policies to drive Thailand’s just transition, namely by addressing 3 key problem areas.
