13 Sept 23:46 Key points summarised by AI

Thailand legalizes abortions for pregnancies between 12 and 20 weeks, effective October 27th, at 110 approved hospitals and clinics nationwide.
Women seeking legal termination must undergo prior consultation with experts, a measure designed to support those unprepared for motherhood and address ethical concerns.
The new edict protects doctors performing abortions within these regulations from legal action, aligning with constitutional rights and receiving strong praise from pro-choice advocates.

Thailand secured a US$200 million loan from the World Bank to significantly invest in clean energy and low-carbon urban development initiatives.
The program aims to drive clean energy funding and low-carbon growth, ensuring a just transition for small and medium-sized enterprises, workers, farmers, and local communities.
Channelled through the Export-Import Bank of Thailand, the loan will fund energy efficiency upgrades in public buildings and industrial areas, including rooftop solar installations and electrical system modernizations, reducing initial capital burdens via Energy Service Companies (ESCOs).
