Thailand is putting together a Thailand Pavilion to showcase its climate change initiatives and discussions, with products and activities based on Moo Deng, the baby pygmy hippo, that will be featured at the 29th Conference of the Parties ( COP29 ) in Azerbaijan.
The UN Framework Convention on Climate Change ( UNFCCC), which is scheduled to take place in Baku, Azerbaijan’s capital city, on November 9 through to November 22, will be a part of the minister’s announcement on Sunday, Natural Resources and Environment Minister Chalermchai Sri-on said.
He claimed that the event may help Thailand work with other nations to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 and net-zero emissions by 2065.
According to him, the government has collaborated with public and private partners to establish the Thailand Pavilion to demonstrate its efforts to combat climate change.
The palace will show four key areas: climate policy, weather technology, climate action, and climate finance, as well as a technology and innovation zone to existing efforts in greenhouse gas reduction and carbon capture.
Mr Chalermchai said a range of side activities was likewise planned, including dialogues and communities to exchange ideas, information, knowledge and experiences on over 30 issues
The Thailand Pavilion will also have activities like a photo kiosk and souvenirs made by Thailand’s Khao Kheow Open Zoo’s prominent baby pygmy hippo, Moo Deng.
From November 11 through November 22, Mr. Chalermchai said, the people can observe changes and regular happenings at the Thailand Pavilion and COP29 part events live on the Department of Climate Change and Environment’s Instagram page.
Meanwhile, the People’s Party ( PP ) said Thailand should use COP29 to emphasise its commitment to achieving net zero emission goals.
Saniwan Buaban, a list-MP, suggested rules for the authorities to explain at the conference on Sunday.
She suggested that the Thai government should declare its commitment to boosting endurance, lowering climate-related risks, and increasing endurance.
She also urged the government to emphasise the need for information, engineering, technology, experience, several funding sources, and its intention to access international funds.
