Thailand’s agricultural sector is exposed to increasingly frequent climate change-related extreme weather events. The fragility of the farmers being exposed to climate risk poses a threat to livelihoods and food security. Besides concrete risk mitigation measures, Thai farmers are in need of financial instruments that reduce the exposure to the economic impact of climate-induced agricultural losses.
In order to achieve ambitious national climate goals, the use of economic instruments such as crop and climate insurance, taxes, feed-in tariffs for renewable energy and other financial incentives are important enablers. The CTCN is collaborating with relevant stakeholders to support local entrepreneurs, small- and medium enterprises and larger businesses, as well as governmental decision-makers, in identifying these economic instruments. Furthermore the CTCN provides technical assistance for strengthening countries’ capacity to access international financing for climate technology opportunities.
