| description |
Thailand needs to avoid the high-carbon
growth path of many developed countries and, instead, take a
low-carbon growth path. A green low-carbon growth path is in
Thailand's own interest as it can simultaneously tackle
local environmental degradation, global climate change, and
energy security challenges. It can also position Thailand as
a regional leader in green, sustainable growth. Green
low-carbon growth in Thailand could focus on the following
four pillars: 1) maintaining rapid economic growth while
adjusting the country's economic structure toward a
less energy, and carbon-intensive economy; 2) achieving
greater urbanization while shifting toward green livable
low-carbon cities; 3) meeting the huge thirst for energy
while transforming the energy sector toward one of high
energy efficiency and widespread diffusion of low-carbon
technologies; and 4) improving quality of life while
shifting toward a resource-efficient and sustainable lifestyle. |
