Global Sustainable Development: Innovation for the future
This carbon-neutral program explores sustainable development initiatives in Thailand aimed at improving people’s lives and reducing carbon emissions with a unique focus on Thai Sufficiency Economy Philosophy (SEP).
You’ll learn from communities and experts about responsible tourism and sustainable ways of living that can be incorporated in daily life. These methods, rooted in SEP, are aimed at improving people’s quality of life and are directly aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Through hands-on activities such as learning about organic pomelo farming and the techniques of using local materials to create sustainable products, contributing to no-carbon village projects by planting mangrove trees, and exploring urban waste management efforts, you will gain a comprehensive understanding of sustainable development from both urban and rural perspectives.
You will also venture into Thai culture and history by visiting floating markets, exploring the famous folding umbrella train market, and even learning organic Thai massage techniques!
By participating in community-based eco-tourism projects, visiting royal Thai sustainability initiatives, and exploring urban resilience solutions, you’ll gain practical knowledge on how local communities and cities are driving initiatives towards sustainability.
