As part of this engagement, Dr. Jitti joined as a session moderator in the Side Event @ Thailand Pavilion, under the topic “Carbon Accounting 2.0: Accelerating Transparency and Trust on the Road to Net Zero 2050”, on the morning of 19 November 2025 (local time in Brazil). The session brought together distinguished experts from various sectors include the Office of National Higher Education Science Research and Innovation Policy Council (NXPO) PAC Corporation (Thailand) Co.,Ltd. and Mae Fah Luang Foundation, to discuss the importance of transparent and reliable carbon data, particularly the role of technologies and innovative solutions in integrating multi-level data with national standards to enhance the integrity and transparency of carbon accounting mechanisms.

During COP30, Thailand—through the DCCE, in collaboration with partner organizations—hosted the Thailand Pavilion, presenting the country’s climate initiatives under the theme: “When Nature Thrives, We All Survive.” The Pavilion featured a dedicated exhibition built around the “5Cs” framework: Climate Policy, Climate Action, Climate Finance, Climate Resilience, and Climate Literacy. In addition, more than 30 dialogue sessions were organized, providing a platform for knowledge exchange among academics, government representatives, private sector organizations, youth delegates, and international agencies. These sessions highlighted Thailand’s capabilities, best practices, and multi-sector collaboration in steering the nation toward a low-carbon economy and society.
