Environmental Policies in the New Politics

Media Dialogue Forum 1 Year 2023

In 2023, Thailand is going through another transition as Thai people voiced out at the May 14 election that they wanted change and they decided to vote unprecedentedly for a new party of the young generation to lead, Move Forward Party. Aside from “the state policies and duties”, every government’s task is to develop sound policies and plans to move the country forward. There has been discussion on the best way forward among the public and sustainable development is just back to the scene. The challenge is; whether to accomplish this goal if there is no integration of a strong foundation of the environment. As Thailand is going to enter a new chapter of politics, it’s interesting to see how environmental policies will be addressed to help support the development path as wished by the people.

VERANSTALTUNGSBERICHT

Vom 15. bis 22. Juni organisierte Bangkok Tribune mit Unterstützung der Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung (Büro Thailand) im Museum Siam das Sonderforum und die Fotoessay-Ausstellung "SDGs l The Depth of Field". Ziel der Veranstaltung war es, der Öffentlichkeit die Ziele für nachhaltige Entwicklung (SDGs) der Agenda 2030 der UN näher zu bringen und ihr Verständnis zu erweitern, um letztlich jeden Einzelnen zu ermutigen, aktiv zu werden. Laut den Vereinten Nationen verlangen die 17 SDGs von allen Ländern eine kollektive Verpflichtung zur Beendigung von Armut und anderer Benachteiligungen, was die Umsetzung von Strategien zur Verbesserung von Gesundheit und Bildung, zur Verringerung von Ungleichheit, zur Ankurbelung des Wirtschaftswachstums und zur gleichzeitigen Bekämpfung des Klimawandels unter Berücksichtigung des Schutzes der Ozeane und Wälder erforderlich macht. Die Fotoessay-Ausstellung vermittelte durch eindrucksvolle visuelle Geschichten, die von renommierten Fotografen eingefangen wurden, die Ideen und Herausforderungen, die sich hinter diesen Zielen verbergen. Es wurden verschiedene Projekte, vor allem aus Thailand, vorgestellt und erläutert, die sich jeweils mit bestimmten SDGs befassen, um die vielfältigen Bemühungen zur Erreichung der Ziele hervorzuheben.
