On 2 December 2025, the Thai Cabinet approved the Climate Change Bill, which aims to establish a national climate change policy committee, collect carbon taxes, and treat carbon credits as transferable assets. The bill is proposed by the Natural Resources and Environment Ministry, and will be the master law on climate change. This Bill also elevates the 2007 climate-related regulations into a unified master legislation governing national climate governance.
泰國內閣於2025年12月2日批准《氣候變遷法案》，該法案旨在設立國家氣候變遷政策委員會、徵收碳稅，並將碳權視為可轉讓資產。該法案由自然資源與環境部提出，並將成為泰國氣候變遷的總體法律。這項法案也將2007年的氣候相關法規提升為一個規範國家氣候治理的統一總體法規
The bill is designed to support Thailand’s commitment to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and assist Thailand reach its carbon neutrality goal by 2050 and achieve net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2065. Once the bill is effective, it will provide a comprehensive framework for managing GHG emissions.
