The document describes Thailand's national strategy to transition toward a low carbon society through the "Low Carbon City" initiative. It outlines a nine-step systematic process developed by the Thailand Greenhouse Gas Management Organization (TGO) to help local governments inventory emissions, set targets, and implement mitigation measures. The case study focuses on Muangklang Municipality in Rayong province, which piloted this approach by implementing measures in buildings, transport, waste, agriculture, and urban spaces. Key findings emphasize that local leadership, stakeholder engagement, and the communication of tangible co-benefits—such as reduced waste disposal costs and increased food security—are critical for the success of low-emission development at the local level.
