Thailand

Here's a visual representation of estimated methane emissions in Thailand by sector, highlighting the major contributors: agriculture and waste. Let me know if you want a bar graph version or more detailed data by sub-sector (e.g., rice cultivation, livestock, landfill).

As a developing nation with a growing population and economy, Thailand faces challenges in managing these emissions due to limited infrastructure, data, and technical capacity. However, there is growing recognition of the need to address methane as part of the country’s broader climate commitments under its Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs).

Efforts are underway to:

• Improve methane measurement and inventory systems,
• Promote climate-smart agricultural practices,
• Enhance waste management infrastructure, and
• Engage in regional cooperation through initiatives like AKCMM.

Reducing methane emissions presents a key opportunity for Thailand to improve public health, increase agricultural efficiency, and advance green growth.
