THAIRATH Money 2024: Good Finance, Good Life - Celebrating One Year with a Seminar on Unlocking Thailand's Green Finance & AI Economy
It is well known that countries in the Asia-Pacific region, including Thailand, are highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, facing various natural disasters such as floods, storms, and droughts.
.
Therefore, Green Finance is crucial in supporting efforts to collectively mitigate the effects of climate change, whether through the use of clean energy, improving transportation, or waste management.

.
For Thailand, there are three key areas that require attention and collaborative push:
▪️ Green growth
▪️ Innovative & Digital Economy
▪️ Regional Integration & Inclusive growth
.
In the past, organizations like the IFC have increasingly supported Green Finance in Thailand, through partnerships with institutions such as the World Bank. For example, they have provided Green Loans to property developers such as:
▪️ Asset World to upgrade buildings for carbon reduction and support the electric vehicle industry with Green Loans.
▪️ Blue Bonds to help reduce pollution in water resource areas.
▪️ Assisting various agencies, including the Bank of Thailand, in developing a Taxonomy for sustainable financing.
.
These projects reflect the significant role of the banking sector as a key player in driving Thailand towards a sustainable and resilient economy.
