NO This assessment report presents a detailed and localized analysis of climate change effects on Bangkok, produced through a joint effort by the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration, the Green Leaf Foundation, and UNEP. It dissects sector-specific emission sources—chiefly transportation, electricity, and waste—and benchmarks Bangkok’s per capita carbon output against major global cities. The report maps observed climate trends and models future scenarios, highlighting vulnerabilities including land subsidence, saline water intrusion, and intensified flooding. It also quantifies potential socio-economic damages under various sea-level rise simulations. Technical adaptation responses are outlined, ranging from structural flood defenses and energy-efficient retrofitting to health surveillance and renewable energy integration. Bangkok’s Global Warming Mitigation Action Plan (2007–2012) is examined with precision, emphasizing implementation pathways and emission reduction targets.
