Thailand is increasingly leveraging finance and technology to adapt to mounting climate risks while countering global politics, trade and economic volatility. This ranges from channelling long-term finance into urban adaptation and disaster risk preparedness, to re-strategising the transition to address energy, water and food security while unlocking shared value through innovation. This is key with Thailand facing its weakest economic growth in decades. Finally, building the right governance frameworks around emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence, to underpin sustainable development will be key to unlocking stronger climate and economic resilience.

The 2026 edition of Unlocking capital for sustainability – Thailand forum will convene policymakers, investors and industry leaders to explore how the country can leverage innovation, finance and cross-sector collaboration to strengthen economic resilience through sustainable development, while managing these emerging risks.

As part of its commitment to sustainable development, Eco-Business is hosting a screening of its latest award-winning impact documentary, WASTED, which explores the connections between waste, human health and the climate crisis.

The mismatch between climate adaptation needs and finance pose major risks to the domestic economy, with Thailand facing economic losses of up to US$553 billion by 2050 due to climate-related impacts. Rural and agriculture-dependent communities are especially at risk due to their direct exposure to climate-driven droughts and crop damages.

Join us for Unlocking capital for sustainability Thailand as key leaders gather to determine the solutions to advance the country’s transition to a resilient, low carbon and sustainable economy. 

This year’s inaugural Thailand edition of Unlocking capital for sustainability convenes leaders and decision-makers across the government, financial institutions and civic society to explore ways to put the Kingdom on the road to meet its interim decarbonisation targets by the end of this decade.
