This document outlines Thailand’s sustainable taxonomy criteria for the waste management sector, focusing on activities like waste collection, treatment, recycling, and disposal. It promotes environmentally sound practices by classifying activities as green, amber, or red based on their contribution to climate and pollution goals. The aim is to guide investment towards sustainable waste infrastructure and circular economy practices.

This document likely applies Thailand’s sustainable finance taxonomy to the manufacturing and industrial sector, detailing criteria for classifying activities (e.g. heavy industry, chemicals, electronics) into green, amber, or red tiers. It probably sets thresholds for energy efficiency, emissions intensity, and pollution to guide sustainable investment.

This guidance applies Thailand’s sustainable finance taxonomy to the construction and real estate sector, defining criteria for new builds, renovations, acquisitions, and installations. It uses an emissions-per-square-meter metric and sets thresholds aligned with green certification standards (e.g., TREES, LEED, EDGE). Activities are classified under a traffic-light system (green, amber, red) to steer investments toward environmentally sustainable projects.

This document presents Thailand’s sustainable finance taxonomy for the agriculture sector. It classifies activities (e.g. crop, livestock, forestry) into green, amber, or red categories based on environmental impact, aiming to guide climate-aligned investment and policy.

This PDF introduces Do No Significant Harm (DNSH) and Minimum Social Safeguards (MSS) as essential criteria underpinning Thailand’s sustainable finance taxonomy. DNSH ensures that any activity advancing one environmental objective doesn’t significantly damage others (e.g., climate change, water, pollution, biodiversity). MSS requires adherence to international labor and human rights standards throughout taxonomy application.

The Thailand Taxonomy provides a framework to classify economic activities by environmental impact using a green–amber–red system. It defines six environmental objectives: climate change mitigation & adaptation, marine/water resource protection, circular economy, pollution control, and biodiversity restoration. It aims to guide sustainable finance and support Thailand’s transition to a low-carbon economy.

The NDC Action Plan on Mitigation (B.E. 2564 – 2573, or 2021 – 2030) has been developed to serve as a framework for sectoral greenhouse gas mitigation efforts, aligning with the country’s Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC). The plan aims to achieve a greenhouse gas reduction target of 30 – 40 percent below the Business as Usual (BAU) scenario by the year 2030 (B.E. 2573). This will be accomplished through actions across five key sectors: Energy, Transport, Industrial Process and Product Use (IPPU), Waste and Industrial Wastewater Management, and Agriculture.
