Marine scientist Prof. Thon Thamrongnavawasdi warns that global temperatures will breach the 1.5°C Paris Agreement threshold before 2030—70 years faster than previously projected. Despite widespread Net Zero commitments, greenhouse gas emissions continue rising. For Thailand, this means extended drought cycles (potentially 8 months without adequate water supply), estimated 9% farm income loss (~70 billion baht), increased business costs (e.g. 12% electricity hike for cooling), and heightened risks for elderly and bedridden populations during floods. Adaptation and early warning systems are now critical.
