From climate change to cascading disasters: Is Thailand ready to adapt?

Thailand faces severe climate threats, ranking ninth globally for climate risk, experiencing frequent extreme weather, rising sea levels threatening its coastline and major cities like Bangkok, and significant economic damage from past disasters.
Experts warn that climate change triggers cascading crises, initiating a chain of interconnected disasters from wildfires fueled by drought to potential pathogen releases from melting permafrost, escalating the overall threat beyond isolated events.
Survival requires urgent action, including widespread "climate literacy" across all societal levels and a critical shift in national spending from post-disaster compensation to preventative measures, innovation, and nature-based solutions for long-term resilience.
