The SMARTS Center of the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT) hosted the outreach event “Climate Change: Resilience, Transformation, and Equity” with the participation of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) on 28th April 2023 at Bangkok, Thailand.
The event disseminates results of the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report including contributions from three Working Groups and a Synthesis Report with topics relevant to Thailand and the region with inputs from the Global South.
The latest @IPCC Climate Change Synthesis Report confirms that achieving the 1.5°C limit is still possible with critical action from all sectors and levels such as investing in renewable energy.
During IPCC’s outreach event in Bangkok organized by @AITasia, Parimita Mohanty from @UNEPROAP highlights how gender equality and inclusivity are essential to a just energy transition.

Pre-event information
Climate change is already shaping the economy, business and future of human living and wellbeing. The IPCC prepares comprehensive Assessment Reports about the state of scientific, technical and socio-economic knowledge on climate change, its impacts and future risks, and options for reducing the rate at which climate change is taking place. It also produces Special Reports on topics agreed to by its member governments, as well as Methodology Reports that provide guidelines for the preparation of greenhouse gas inventories.
The outreach event will be hosted and organized by SMARTS Center (South and South-east Asia Multidisciplinary Applied Research Network on Transforming Societies of Global South).
