Iran war exposes Thai energy fragility
Iran war is once again challenging the global economy. For Thailand, however, it exposes something deeper -- an energy system that remains heavily dependent on imported LNG.

Thailand has recently demonstrated a major step forward in climate ambition through its NDC 3.0, to transition toward a net-zero society and economy by 2050. However, ambition alone is not enough. Climate Finance Network Thailand (CFNT), in collaboration with UN Global Compact Network Thailand (GCNT), invites you to explore these issues in our webinar “Financing NDC 3.0.”
CFNT webinar “Power Purchase Agreement: Impediment to Energy Transition?”, featuring Dr.Piti Eiamchamroonlarp, Director of the Energy Law Center and Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Law, Chulalongkorn University.
CFNT Report examines the feasibility of early phased out for a coal-fired power plant and proposes financial structuring options to support a just and practical transition for key stakeholders.
CFNT examines financing gaps between Thailand’s NDC 3.0 commitments and actual investment flows using CFNT’s Climate Finance Tracker, highlighting sectoral mismatches in priority technologies and opportunities to mobilize finance and accelerate Thailand’s path to net zero.
CFNT and Fair Finance Thailand (FFT) propose 10 climate finance policies for Thailand's new governmen, based on research conducted by both organizations
As the effects of global warming increasingly and adversely impact Thai society and the economy, Climate Finance Network Thailand (CFNT) and Fair Finance Thailand (FFT) propose 10 financial and finance-related policies to drive Thailand’s just transition by addressing 3 key problem areas.

Thailand’s Net Zero 2050 target under NDC 3.0 can be achieved depends largely on the energy sector. Rapeepat Ingasit explores 3 pathways for phasing out coal, drawing on international experience that is not only climate-friendly, but also economically viable.
As Southeast Asia becomes the world's second-fastest-growing electricity market, the region faces two main paths. One is to commit to massive infrastructure to import Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG). The other path is accelerating renewable energy adoption, which requires a major update of the regional grid.
