pTopik : Strengthening Climate Change Adaptation and Resilience in Vulnerable Communities

1. The country's action on climate change

We feel that every living thing in the world can sense climate change from childhood to old age
does not limit age, climate change in Thailand is a change that can be offset by the country's
diverse human needs and desires that must be met, prime minister of Thai prayut chan o cha says
it is a living and dying challenge to our world and our children's future that we make and correct
the mistakes That we have done on planet earth, Thailand's willingness to more aggressively face
the challenges of climate change in any way and if necessary countries accept the funds and
technologies required from wealthy countries. We delegates of thaialand believe that each of the
countries of the delegation will certainly need effective ideas and solutions by considering all
conditions according to their respective states' policies.

2. The most frequent trigger is the cause of climate change

Climate change has been referred to asa phenomenon of global warming, where greenhouse
gases in the atmosphere layer increase and last for a period of time. The causes of climate change
and global warming are diverse and impair human life. Climate changes continuously because of
the interaction between its components and external factors such as volcanic eruptions, solar
variations, and factors caused by such human activities as changes in land use and the use of
fossil fuels.

3. The mining effect on climate change

UN scientists have made it clear that cutting greenhouse gas emissions alone is not enough to
lower earth's temperature. They stress the need for an active reduction in carbon dioxide levels
from the atmosphere. Planting trees is the most natural way to do that. But this action has its
limitations; The carbon dioxide captured is released when the wood is overcast or burned. Not
only that, the number of trees that can be planted is limited. While a process called direct water
capture (dac), it works with a mechanism that sucks co2 out of the atmosphere and stores it
underground. Of course, the process is permanent. But is it reasonable to build a time-consuming
process that at the same time tries to reduce the use of fossil fuels?

4. Climate change's impact on kids

In 2021, Thailand ranked 50th out of 163 countries where children were most at risk from the
impact of climate change, according to UNICEF’s global Children’s Climate Risk Index.
Children in Thailand are at high risk from climate change, according to a new study released
today by UNICEF and conducted by Thailand Development Research Institute. Those living in
the northeastern and southern provinces of Ubon Ratchathani, Nakhon Rachasima, Sri Saket,
Nakhon Srithammarat and Narathiwat face the highest risks of all.the first of its kind in Thailand,
examining the impact of climate change specifically on children across provinces, incomes,
disabilities, and ages. It also features a Child-Sensitive Climate Risk Index for the country based
on factors including extreme heat, cold, floods, droughts as well as the availability of healthcare
facilities and social services in each province. This can help the Government, civil society and
businesses prioritize climate action for children and their communities.To help mitigate the
impact of climate change and environmental degradation on children in Thailand, the new study
released today recommends actions to take: Ensure that the climate change policies are child
sensitive, Promote awareness, knowledge and skills related to climate change and to protect the
environment among children, including out-of-school children, Strengthen climate resilience in
high-risk communities, Create platforms where children and young people can participate.

5. Covid-19's impact on climate change

Climate change still occurs when the covid-19 pandemic. The concentration of greenhouse gases
in the atmosphere is at record levels and is on the rise. The world meteorological organization
(wmo) report points to the increasing and irreversible effects of climate change, affecting
glaciers, oceans, nature, economies, and living conditions of the unep.org. In effect, climate
change often impacts natural disasters such as floods and droughts. The co2 concentration in the
atmosphere shows no signs of abatement; it actually increases and increases. Wmo reports the
co2 concentration above 410 PPM during the first half of 2020. By July 2020, the increase to
411.74 PPM. The reduction in co2 emissions by 2020 has had only a small impact on the rate of
increasing atmospheric concentration, which is the effect of past and present emissions.
Secretary general wmo, petteri taalas notes the concentration of greenhouse effects already at its
highest level in 3 million years, which is still rising. Meanwhile, much of Siberia is experiencing
prolonged heat waves during the first half of 2020, which is highly unlikely without
anthropogenic climate change. From climate Columbia, a new study predicts that according to
data in the energy sector, industry and mobility by 2020, global co2 emissions are down by 8
percent or down 2.4 billion tons. Indeed, that figure exceeded the level of decline recorded in
2009.Therefore, from some of the evidence we see, the impact of climate change is only about 7
percent of global emissions a year when the covid-19 pandemic is still small, unless it has been
carried out in the long run for several years.
