A green low-carbon growth path is in Thailand's own interest as it can simultaneously tackle local environmental degradation, global climate change, and energy security challenges. It can also position Thailand as a regional leader in green, sustainable growth. Green low-carbon growth in Thailand could focus on the following four pillars: 1) maintaining rapid economic growth while adjusting the country's economic structure toward a less energy, and carbon-intensive economy; 2) achieving greater urbanization while shifting toward green livable low-carbon cities; 3) meeting the huge thirst for energy while transforming the energy sector toward one of high energy efficiency and widespread diffusion of low-carbon technologies; and 4) improving quality of life while shifting toward a resource-efficient and sustainable lifestyle.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOAGGLOMERATION ECONOMIESAIRAIR CONDITIONINGAIR EMISSIONAIR POLLUTIONAIR QUALITYALTERNATIVE ENERGYALTERNATIVE ENERGY DEVELOPMENTALTERNATIVE FUELSAMBIENT AIRAMBIENT AIR QUALITYAPPROACHAUTOMOBILEAUTOMOBILE FUELAVAILABILITYAVERAGE CAR OWNERSHIPBIOMASSBIOMASS POWERBUSBUS SECTORBUS SYSTEMCALCULATIONCARCAR USECARBON CAPCARBON DIOXIDECARBON DIOXIDE EMISSIONSCARBON EMISSIONCARBON EMISSIONSCARBON ENERGYCARBON FOOTPRINTCARBON INTENSITYCARBON MONOXIDECARBON TAXCARBON TECHNOLOGIESCLEAN ENERGYCLIMATECLIMATE CHANGECOCO2COALCONGESTIONCONGESTION CHARGESCORN PRODUCTIONDIESELDIESEL FUELDIFFUSIONEFFICIENCY IMPROVEMENTEFFICIENCY POTENTIALELECTRIC CARSELECTRIC VEHICLESELECTRICITYELECTRICITY USAGEEMISSIONEMISSION LEVELEMISSION REDUCTIONSEMISSION STANDARDSEMISSIONSEMISSIONS INTENSITYEMISSIONS REDUCTIONSENERGY CONSERVATIONENERGY CONSUMPTIONENERGY DEMANDENERGY EFFICIENCYENERGY MANAGEMENTENERGY MIXENERGY NEEDSENERGY POLICIESENERGY POLICYENERGY RESOURCESENERGY SAVINGSENFORCEMENT OF REGULATIONSENVIRONMENTALENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGESENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATIONENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCYENVIRONMENTAL TARGETSENVIRONMENTAL TAXENVIRONMENTAL TAXESETHANOLFEEDSTOCKFEEDSTOCK FOR ETHANOLFINANCIAL INCENTIVESFORESTFOREST AREASFORESTRYFOSSILFOSSIL FUELFOSSIL FUEL USEFOSSIL FUELSFRAMEWORK CONVENTION ON CLIMATE CHANGEFUEL ECONOMYFUEL EFFICIENCYFUEL TAXFUEL TAXESFUEL USEFUEL-EFFICIENT VEHICLESGASOLINEGASOLINE PRICESGENERATIONGEOTHERMAL HEAT PUMPSGHGGLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGEGLOBAL ENVIRONMENT FACILITYGLOBAL WARMINGGREEN POWERGREENHOUSEGREENHOUSE GASGREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONGREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONSGRID INTEGRATIONGROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCTHEATHEAT GENERATIONHIGH ENERGYHIGH TRANSPORTHISTORICAL EMISSIONSINSPECTIONKILOWATT-HOURLAND TRANSPORTLAND USELAND USE CHANGELANDFILLLANDFILL GASLIVABLE CITIESLOCAL AIR POLLUTANTSLOW-CARBONMARKET PRICESMASS RAPID TRANSITMASS TRANSITMASS TRANSIT SYSTEMMINISTRY OF TRANSPORTMOBILITYNATURAL GASNEGATIVE IMPACTSNITROGENNITROGEN OXIDENONMOTORIZED TRANSPORTNOXOILOIL CONSUMPTIONOIL EQUIVALENTOIL SUPPLYOILSPARTICULATEPARTICULATE MATTERPARTICULATESPERSONAL VEHICLESPOLICEPOLICY INSTRUMENTSPOLLUTIONPOLLUTION DAMAGESPOPULATION DENSITYPOWER GENERATIONPOWER MIXPOWER PLANTSPOWER PRODUCERPRIMARY ENERGYPRIMARY FEEDSTOCKPUBLIC PARKSPUBLIC TRANSITPUBLIC TRANSPORTPUBLIC TRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTUREPUBLIC TRANSPORT NETWORKSPUBLIC WORKSRAIL TRANSITRAIL TRANSIT SYSTEMRAIL TRANSPORTATIONRAPID TRANSITRENEWABLE ENERGYRENEWABLE ENERGY APPLICATIONSRENEWABLE ENERGY DEVELOPMENTRENEWABLE ENERGY GENERATIONRENEWABLE ENERGY SUPPLYRENEWABLE ENERGY USERETROFITTINGROADROAD PRICINGROAD TRANSPORTROADSSANITATIONSMALL POWER PRODUCERSSMART PLANNINGSO2SOLAR WATER HEATERSSOXSUGARCANESULFURSULFUR DIOXIDESULFUR OXIDESUSTAINABLE ENERGYSUSTAINABLE TRANSPORTSUSTAINABLE WATERTAXTAX CREDITSTAX RATETONS OF CARBONTONS OF COAL EQUIVALENTTRAFFICTRAFFIC CONGESTIONTRAFFIC MANAGEMENTTRAFFIC SYSTEMTRANSIT AUTHORITYTRANSIT CORRIDORSTRANSIT SYSTEMTRANSPARENCYTRANSPORTTRANSPORT EMISSIONSTRANSPORT PLANNINGTRANSPORT POLICIESTRANSPORT SECTORTRIPSUNEPURBAN PASSENGERURBAN PASSENGER TRANSPORTURBAN RAILURBAN SPRAWLURBAN TRANSPORTUTILITY BILLVEHICLEVEHICLE FUELVEHICLE FUEL ECONOMYVEHICLE REGISTRATIONVEHICLE REGISTRATION FEESVEHICLE TRAFFICVEHICLE-KILOMETERSVEHICLESWALKINGWASTE MANAGEMENTWASTEWATER TREATMENTWATER QUALITYWEALTHWINDWIND POWERReportWorld Bank10.1596/26741
