The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) has been working closely with Japan to find ways of reducing greenhouse gas emissions throughout the capital, as the city aims to achieve net zero emissions by 2050.
Bangkok governor Chadchart Sittipunt on Thursday chaired a seminar at the Bangkok Climate and Energy Action Conference for Net Zero Greenhouse Gas Emission at the Sukosol Hotel. The event was co-hosted by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (Jica) and Yokohama City.
Attendees included Takuro Tasaka, minister and chief of the economic division of the Embassy of Japan in Thailand; Jica representative Ryoichi Kawabe; Pornphrom Vikitsreth, an adviser to the Bangkok governor; and executive officials from the BMA's environment department.
