SUMMARY:Dialogue Forum 4 l Year 5 on Climate (In) Justice?\, A Reflection of Civil Society (in Thai)
DESCRIPTION:In times when society has widened with gaps and differences of views and opinions\, one issue could escalate into a crisis if there are no platforms available for appropriate discussion among all concerned. \nThe media\, while informing and inspiring their audience\, could also educate and facilitate the public by providing platforms to help “bridge the gap” and “connect the dots” to create the big picture for better understanding in society. \nRealising such critical roles\, Bangkok Tribune\, in collaboration with its partners and with the support of Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung\, Thailand Office (KAS Thailand)\, comes up with a regular policy forum on critical development and environmental issues under the project\, Dialogue Forum. \nThis is to facilitate and provide a space for discussions and exchanges of dialogues and views on development and environmental issues up to the policy level both in Thailand and the Mekong region. It not only bridges the gap but also connects the dots\, helping forge better understanding among the parties concerned and the public at large as well as facilitating them to make a better decision about the issues or even find common ground or seek solutions together. \nCOP29 (The 29th Conference of Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC)) drew controversy since the first day it was convened.  First\, the venue of the meeting was located in Azerbaijan\, the world’s 18th largest oil exporter and 24th largest oil producer. \nSecond\, the event was highly expected from the first day that it would help deliver a replacement of the current climate finance\, which remains vague since its birth in COP15 in 2009. This prompted the event to be dubbed as “finance COP”. \nThe so-called New Collective Quantified Goal on Climate Finance (NCQG) was aimed at reframing the climate finance\, which was first set at around US $100 billion a year out of the promises from developed countries to support climate action of developing countries. With climate disasters taking place more intensely\, the needs for climate finance\, however\, are growing five times or more\, or at least US $500 billion to one trillion a year. \nLast but not least is the so-called “fossil fuel fights”\, under which countries lockhorned in the future of what agreed in COP28; “transitioning away from fossil fuels”. \nAll of these challenges make the issue of climate justice even more critical and challenging as the meeting was unable to reach an agreement as expected. COP countries could reach the new funding at US $350 billion a year and until 2035 the NCQG would be raised to 1.35 trillion a year\, with funding drawn from all sectors including business and financial institutions. \nThis prompted furious debates and  dissatisfaction among developing countries\, which criticised the COP multilateral system strongly. Some developing countries were seen walking out of the meeting\, shaking confidence that COP29 would not  be continued and collapse. This is not to mention that “transitioning away from fossil fuels” was barely discussed among the negotiators in this meeting\, deeping the rift between developed and developing countries over the responsibility\, which remains elusive. \nRealising what the outcomes of this COP mean to the future of the planet and people\, including Thai citizens\, the Dialogue Forum would cordially like to invite you to take this opportunity to explore Post COP29 and the way forward together at the second forum of the series\, Post COP29\, Climate (In) Justice?\, Dialogue Forum 4 l Year 5: Climate (In) Justice?\, A Reflection of Civil Society (in Thai) on December 12\, 12.30-3 p.m. at SEA-Junction\, 4th Floor\, BACC. \n \nObjectives \n\nTo produce critical and constructive content and policy recommendations that are of the public interest in order to raise public awareness and boost public knowledge and understanding as well as inspiration_all to mobilise desirable “social forces” that can help address issues of importance in the society and sustain a free and fair society (Inform & Inspire)\nTo create a space and body of in-depth knowledge as well as an innovative media platform (Dialogue Forum) that is independent and in-depth for the public (Indie & In-depth)\nTo empower the public to be able to keep up with developments as well as repercussions in the society\, and level up meaningful conversations and discussions for better understanding among the public here and abroad (Empowering)\nTo promote public participation in problem-solving and decision-making processes (Inclusive & Participatory)\nTo promote the development of innovative and constructive media so that it can remain open and accessible to all (Open & Accessible)\n\nPartners \n\nDecode.plus\, Thai PBS\nSEA-Junction\nThe Thai Society of Environmental Journalists (Thai SEJ)\nLocal Development Institute\nThai Climate Justice for All\nGreenpeace Thailand\nBangkok Tribune Online News Agency\n\nSupported by \n\nKonrad Adenauer Stiftung\, Thailand Office (KAS Thailand)\n\nContact \nPiyaporn Wong l Bangkok Tribune: 089 920 8027/ b.tribune@bkktribune.com/ \nFB Messenger: Bangkok Tribune News \nPlease confirm in advance for a seat at the forum@ https://forms.gle/FG6JiqWZBsdMgx1T8 \nHygienic hand-cleaning and other related measures are encouraged throughout the event. \n***You can also watch the event live via FB Live@ FB Page: Bangkok Tribune News\, Decode.plus\, Thai SEJ (ชมรมนักข่าวสิ่งแวดล้อม)\, and  SEA-Junction. \n
