All participants demonstrated great potential, strong motivation, and creativity. The policy proposals they presented, both for domestic public policy and regional approaches to address climate change, were guided by faculty from the Faculty of Political Science and Public Administration at Chiang Mai University. The faculty provided perspectives to frame ideas, suggested practical approaches, highlighted key stakeholders, and explained expected outcomes at national and regional levels, making each group’s proposals stronger and more feasible.

The Faculty of Political Science and Public Administration at Chiang Mai University will compile feedback from all groups and present it to government agencies – national and local levels - through future faculty activities.
