The program aimed to strengthen participants’ understanding of climate policy frameworks at both the national and international levels while underscoring the importance of cross-sector collaboration in achieving climate targets.

In her remarks, Dr. Saravanee highlighted NXPO’s role as Thailand’s National Designated Entity (NDE) for climate technology development and transfer under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). She emphasized that NXPO acts as a key coordinator, facilitating both vertical and horizontal linkages to advance climate technology initiatives. Thailand has secured support for eight climate technology projects to date, making it the second-highest recipient of support among participating countries. Dr. Saravanee also underscored NXPO’s broader efforts in strengthening Thailand’s innovation system to enhance its absorptive capacity and ensure the effective adoption of climate technologies tailored to the country’s needs and context.
