THAILAND

Thailand's National Adaptation Plan (NAP) employs a sector-based approach to mainstream climate resilience across government ministries and sub-national structures, focusing on six priority sectors identified in the Climate Change Master Plan (2015–2050). The process, which progressed from a first draft in 2015 to approval by the National Committee on Climate Change Policy (NCCC) by 2018, targets key climate impacts including floods, droughts, coastal erosion, and heat waves exceeding 40°C. The NAP's primary objectives are to integrate adaptation into sectoral plans, government budgeting frameworks, and to enhance stakeholder awareness and resiliency measures.

• Thailand's National Adaptation Plan (NAP) utilizes a sector-based approach to integrate climate change adaptation across government ministries and sub-national structures, focusing on six priority sectors: water management, tourism, public health, natural resources management, human settlements and security, and agriculture and food security.
• The NAP process followed a timeline from 2015 to 2018, beginning with the first draft and the integration of adaptation into the National Development Plan via the Climate Change Master Plan, followed by vulnerability assessments and the inclusion of adaptation in the Thailand Strategy 2018–2037, culminating in approval by the National Committee on Climate Change Policy (NCCC).
• The plan identifies several key climate change impacts affecting the country, specifically floods, landslides, droughts, coastal erosion, heat waves where temperatures exceed 40°C, and decreased yields in fisheries and agriculture.
