Сводный обзор: 
Thailand affirms that as a developing country highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, it attaches great importance to the global efforts to address this common and pressing challenge. Through this document Thailand submits its targets in terms of GHG reductions and other important objectives including, a.o., the energy sector, its past, current and projected achievements.
Environment
Energy environmental priorities: 
the Ministry of Energy is taking a step forward to balance three key aspects of energy planning for Thailand: security, economy and ecology, also taking into account the need to address climate change.
GHG emissions reduction targets: 
Thailand intends to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 20 percent from the projected business-as-usual (BAU) level by 2030. The level of contribution could increase up to 25 percent, subject to adequate and enhanced access to technology development and transfer, financial resources and capacity building support through a balanced and ambitious global agreement under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).---Thailand has already achieved 4% of GHG emission reduction from the projected 2020 BAU and is well on track to achieving the 7% target pledged as voluntary domestic efforts by 2020. Our INDC will continue such efforts with ambitious plans in the relevant sectors. ---Ambitious targets are defined in the Power Development Plan (PDP), the Alternative Energy Development Plan (AEDP) and the Energy Efficiency Plan (EEP). the PDP sets a target to achieve a 20% share of power generation from renewable sources in 2036. The AEDP aims to achieve a 30% share of renewable energy in the total final energy consumption in 2036. The EEP plans to reduce the country’s energy intensity by 30% below the 2010 level in 2036.
Pollution control action plans: 
[T]he Waste Management Roadmap, [...] can contribute tremendous environmental benefits in terms of GHG emission and pollution reduction.
Decarbonization strategy: 
Thailand recognizes the important role of market-based mechanisms to enhance the cost effectiveness of mitigation actions, and therefore will continue to explore the potentials of bilateral, regional and international market mechanisms as well as various approaches that can facilitate, expedite and enhance technology development and transfer, capacity building and access to financial resources that support Thailand’s efforts towards achieving sustainable, low-carbon and climate-resilient growth,[...].---Thailand has formulated the National Strategic Plan on Climate Change B.E. 2551-2555 (2008- 2012) and the Climate Change Master Plan B.E. 2558-2593 (2015-2050), providing a continuous framework for measures and actions in the long-term. The Climate Change Master Plan has laid out a vision to achieve climate-resilient and low-carbon growth in line with sustainable development path by 2050, and has recently been approved by the Cabinet.[...] Therefore, it is expected that further concrete mitigation and adaptation actions will be proposed in respective sectors.---A vehicle tax scheme based on CO2 emission was also approved and will become effective beginning 2016.
