15 How to be a Low Carbon City 1. Study on the city carbon footprint 2. Identification of potential greenhouse gas emission reduction activities 3. Evaluation on GHG emission reductions 4. Implementation of GHG emission reduction activities 5. Monitoring of GHG emission reductions Thailand Greenhouse Gas Management Organization (Public Organization): TGO 15

16 Level of Low Carbon City Provincial level From , 4 from 76 provinces (Bangkok,Phuket, Nonthaburi and Songkhla have participated in low carbon city project. City level From , 71 from 2,441 municipalities have been conducted the study on City Carbon Footprint The boundary will cover all the area which is responsible by municipality. City Carbon Footprint (CCF) Municipality level From , 127 from 2,441 municipalities joined the Carbon Footprint for Organization project. The boundary will cover only the buildings/activities belong to the municipality. Carbon Footprint for Organization (CFO) Carbon Footprint for Organization (CFO) and City Carbon Footprint (CCF) are the assessment of overall greenhouse gas emissions to determine an organization/city s carbon footprint, which will lead to policies and strategies to successfully reduce greenhouse gas emissions as an organization, a city and a country as a whole. Under the project, after conducted the study on CFO and/or CCF, the GHG mitigation potential would be identified. Thailand Greenhouse Gas Management Organization (Public Organization): TGO 16

19 Municipal Solid Waste Management (MSW) Master Plan Targets Not less than 75 % of MSW is properly managed in 2021 All of leaving leftover MSW generated after 2015 is properly managed within 2019 Not less than 50% Local Administration separates MSW at source. Actions i.e. Encourage the waste reduction using 3Rs (Reduce Reuse Recycle), particularly to reduce waste at source Increase capacity in waste collection and transport Increase capacity in waste disposal (disposal of leaving leftover MSW, integrated waste management) Promote the appropriate technology for waste management according to geographical location, waste amount, waste composition Support the capacity building for the local organization administration (LOA) on waste management Engage stakeholder participation Source: Pollution Control Department, 2016 Thailand Greenhouse Gas Management Organization (Public Organization): TGO 19

28 Conclusion -- Ways forward to be a Low Carbon City Transforming by seeing waste as a source of assets or a revenue-generating resource from which to recover both materials and energy 3Rs (reduce reuse recycle) shrink the volume of garbage and reduce the waste collection costs and also fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emission Implementation of GHG emission reduction activities from solid waste management that appropriate with the cities in the aspect of geographical location, waste amount, waste composition Avoidance of methane from disposal of organic waste in landfill can reduce most effectively the greenhouse gas emissions from solid waste management. Conversion of waste to energy not only reduces methane emission from disposal of organic waste but also reduces carbon dioxide emission from combustion of fossil fuel. However, only post-recycled waste shall be used. Thailand Greenhouse Gas Management Organization (Public Organization): TGO 28
