Result of Seminar on the JCM Implementation in Thailand
The Ministry of the Environment, Japan (MOEJ) and the Global Environment Centre Foundation (GEC) in collaboration with Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment of Thailand (MONRE), Thailand Greenhouse Gas Management Organization (TGO) jointly organized “Seminar on the Joint Crediting Mechanism (JCM) Implementation in Thailand – Accelerating Promotion of Environmental Infrastructure through JCM -” on 12 September 2019 in Bangkok, Thailand.
In this seminar, government officials and representatives of related organizations from both countries explained the overview of the Financing Progamme for JCM Model Projects and its progress in Thailand and introduced newly developed web platform “JCM Global Match”, and TGO made a presentation about the status of JCM implementation and issue of credits in Thailand. Asian Development Bank (ADB) introduced Japan Fund for JCM (JFJCM). In addition, companies from both countries shared the good practices of JCM model projects in Thailand and the neighboring country and Thai companies introduced their activities for reduction of GHG emissions.
In subsequent business matching session, several companies that were considering buying or selling low carbon or zero carbon emission technologies within JCM scheme had individual meetings which were set up though the new platform JCM Global Match as well as networking session namely name card exchange meeting. Further, GEC, TGO and ADB had individual consultation with companies which had questions regarding JCM Financing Programme and JFJCM.
It is expected that the information sharing as well as business matching and consultation about JCM in the seminar will make much more JCM projects in Thailand and the neighboring countries.
