Press Briefing at Bangkok Climate Week
Phasing out fossil fuels is essential to limit global warming to 1.5°C. Renewable energy is viable, affordable, and can deliver justice if deployed equitably.
On October 2, during the Bangkok Climate Week, parliamentarians from Asia and Africa will gather at the Foreign Correspondents’ Club of Thailand (FCCT) for a Press Briefing to share their vision for a just energy transition.
A just transition must protect workers, communities, and vulnerable populations.
Parliamentarians play a crucial role in shaping laws, ensuring accountability, and safeguarding rights.
