Immediate action must be taken to achieve sustainability, or the world may suffer the consequences in the long term, according to Sumet Tantivejkul, Secretary-General of the Chaipattana Foundation, who delivered his speech at Friday’s opening ceremony of Sustainable Expo 2024 ( SX2024 ).
The Great King Rama IX had vehemently emphasized the term” change” in his presentation speech, explaining to the audience the sufficient business principle of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej.
People at the time believed that monetary change was the only factor because a recent economic crisis had affected the country. However, when the country had to deal with the Covid-19 pandemic and climate change, the meaning of” change” went above and beyond that.
People should have anticipated the move and focused on self-evaluation, reasoning, and risk control to build immunity and make for all eventualities, according to the validity business.
He continued, stating that people need to be careful and educated about the actions they intend to take in order to minimize any negative effects that might result from applying the concept of adequate economy. This is because we currently reside in a “one universe,” which makes it impossible to prevent big events from occurring wherever they happen.
” We should then decide when to take action right then. We ought to do it in time to thrive. The best course of action is to ensure that the next generation has access to the resources they have already given to their community. That is what we mean when we talk about sustainability”, he said.
Sustainability Expo 2024 ( SX2024 ) was officially unveiled yesterday under the theme of” Sufficiency for Sustainability”. Over 270 domestic and international colleagues imparted their expertise and knowledge. The Queen SiriKit National Convention Center will host the event from monday through October 6 until October 6.
The event’s chair, Thapana Sirivadhanabhakdi, who has since grown into the largest sustainability gathering in the Asean region over the past five years, stated in his opening speech that it was inspired by the first royal command of His Majesty King Maha Vajiralongkorn Phra Vajiraklaochaoyuhua and that it is in line with the global Sustainable Development Goals ( SDGs ).
He said that fair, which last year welcomed over 360, 000 visitors, has garnered an overwhelmingly positive response in past years, as it offers solutions for visitors of all ages seeking solutions to the pressing challenge of creating a” Fine Balance and Better World” across economic, cultural, and economic aspects.
