The Thailand Taxonomy Board, which includes the Bank of Thailand alongside the Department of Climate Change and Environment, the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Stock Exchange of Thailand, has published Thailand Taxonomy Phase 2.1, extending Thailand’s taxonomy for classifying environmentally sustainable activities to additional high greenhouse gas-emitting sectors. Phase 2 covers agriculture, construction and real estate, manufacturing, and waste management, continuing from Phase 1, which focused on the energy and transportation sectors. The framework is structured around six environmental objectives spanning climate mitigation and adaptation, water and marine resources, circular economy, pollution prevention and control, and biodiversity and ecosystems. The Board incorporated feedback gathered through stakeholder consultations starting in February 2024 and a public consultation running from 28 October 2024 to 10 January 2025, and made the final taxonomy available for download from 27 May 2025 via the websites of DCCE, BOT, SEC and SET. The Board will co-organize a seminar on “Thailand Taxonomy 2.0: Driving the Thai Economy towards sustainability” on 27 May 2025, and said additional access channels for the taxonomy will be announced later.
