SUMMARY:Year-end Dialogue Forum (in Thai) “Green Recovery: Moving Beyond the Pandemic”
DESCRIPTION:As the world has realised now how deeply humans interconnect with nature following the burst of the Covid-19 pandemic since late last year\, several ideas have been tossed to help it shape a new economic course that is not only more sustainable\, but also more resilient to any shocks caused by nature. \nBuzz words like ”Build Back Better” ”Build Back Greener” ”Green Recovery” are picking momentum and gaining more and more seriousness from policy makers. \nIt has been for some time already that debates over sustainable development have been centering around integrating ”natural capital” or ”natural assets” and their sustainability into the development path to help materialise and secure it as nature is fundamental to the development growth\, and depletion of natural assets tend to undermine the growth in return. \nThis can clearly see from the World Bank’s publication\, the Changing Wealth of Nations 2018\, which said low-income countries depend on natural capital for 47 percent of their wealth. \nNevertheless\, it’s the fact that such the attempt has hardly been achieved\, given the latest assessment by the Convention on Biological Diversity the Global Biodiversity Outlook 5 this year\, which shows that only one thirds out of 20 biodiversity targets\, aimed by country members to help preserve and sustain the world’s biodiversity\, have been achieved. \nAs the world has been awaken to the painful fact brought by Covid-19\, there have recently been renewed efforts in international community to integrate natural assets into the recovery packages as well as the long-term development path. \nValuing and measuring these assets and ways to integrate them into such the packages and path are being explored seriously. The questions are; whether we can shift the destructive economic course with these ideas into a more sustainable and resilient one this time\, and whether we can do it in time\, before the next pandemic strikes us. \nAs the year-end is approaching\, the Dialogue Forum\, therefore\, would cordially like to invite you to look back to the challenges in the year brought by the Covid-19 pandemic\, and look forward to all these attempts both in international community and in Thailand and the region in its Year-end Dialogue Forum: Green Recovery: Moving beyond the Pandemic\, scheduled at BACC (Bangkok Art and Culture Centre)\, Multi-Function Room (1st Floor) on December 22\, 10 am-4 pm. \nPartners \n\nThai Society of Environmental Journalists\nProject SEVANA South-East Asia\nSEA-Junction\nBangkok Tribune News Agency\n\nSupported by: Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung (Thailand Office) \nContact: \nBangkok Tribune coordinator: Piya Wong @089 920 8027/ FB Messenger: Bangkok Tribune News and SEA Junction \n*In accordance with the COVID-19 regulation\, please confirm your participation ahead of the event. \n**You can also watch the event live at FB Live: Bangkok Tribune News FB Page \n \nProgramme \n\n\n\n10.00 am\nRegistration\n\n\n10.20 am \nBrief introduction of the forum and the topic of the forum sessions\n\n\n10.25 am \nBrief introduction of the photo exhibition: Through the Hard Time\, and advisors\, partners\, and supporters of Bangkok Tribune and Dialogue Forum\n\n\n10.30 am\nSpeech 1: Green Recovery Concept and the Challenges in Thailand and the Region Dr. Buntoon Srethasirote\, Member of the National Reform Committee on Natural Resources and Environment/ Director of the Good Governance for Social Development and the Environment Institute (GSEI)\n\n\n10.40 am\nSpeech 2: Green Recovery and the World’s Challenges: EU’s Lessons and beyond Dr. Céline-Agathe Caro\, Director\, Office of the Konrad Adenauer Foundation in Thailand\n\n\n10.50 am\nCoffee break (served outside)\n\n\n11.00 am\nForum discussion 1: The Road to Green Recovery: Possibilities and Challenges\nSpeakers: \n\nDr. Wijarn Simachaya\, President of Thailand Environment Institute\, formerly Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment\nDr. Buntoon Srethasirote\, Member of the National Reform Committee on Natural Resources and Environment/ Director of the Good Governance for Social Development and the Environment Institute (GSEI)\nDr. Kannika Thampanichvong\, Senior Research Fellow\, Thailand Development and Research Institute (TDRI)\nMs. Swisa Ariyapruchya\, Deputy Director\, Sustainable Banking and International Strategy Division\, Financial Institutions Strategy Department\, Bank of Thailand\nDr. Petch Manopawitr\, Co-Founder ReReef\, former Deputy Director\, IUCN SE Asia Group (/moderator)\n\n\n\n\n12.20 pm\nQ&A\n\n\n12.30 pm\nWrap-up and closing of the session\n\n\n\n  \nLunch \n\n\n\n1.15 pm\nOpening of the photo exhibition: Through the Hard Time (Hall L Floor) |\nMs. Chiranan Pitpreecha\, SEAWRITE Poet and Founder of Foto United\, and an advisor to Bangkok Tribune Online News Agency\n\n\n1.20 pm\nGreen Recovery Photo Talks: The Hard Time through the Lens \n\nMs. Chiranan Pitpreecha\, SEAWRITE Poet and Founder of Foto United\, and an advisor to Bangkok Tribune Online News Agency (Talks initiator)\nMr. Panumas Sanguanwong\, Photojournalist/ Founder\, Thai News Pix\nMr. Wason Wanichakorn\, Photojournalist/Contributor\, AP\n\n\n\n\n1.50 pm\nCoffee break (served outside)\n\n\n2.00 pm\nForum discussion 2: The Road to Green Recovery: Possibilities and Challenges: Civil Society’s Reflections (Multi-Function Room (1st Floor)\nSpeakers: \n\nMr. Witoon Lianchamroon\, Director\, Biodiversity\, Sustainable Agriculture\, and Food Sovereignty Action Thailand ( BioThai Foundation)\nMr. Sasin Chalernlap\, President\, Seub Nakhasathien Foundation\nMr. Tara Buakamsri\, Thailand Country Director\, Greenpeace Thailand\nMr. Somnuck Jongmeewasin\, an advisor\, EEC Watch\nMs. Warangkana Rattanarat\, Thailand Program Director\, the Center for People and Forests (RECOFTC)\nDr. Petch Manopawitr\, Co-Founder ReReef\, former Deputy Director\, IUCN SE Asia Group (/moderator)\n\n\n\n\n3.30 pm\nQ&A\n\n\n4.00 pm\nWrap-up and closing the session\n\n\n\nShare on FacebookTweetFollow usSave
