  9. How does Thailand contribute to global warming?

  10. Statistics (1) GHG per capita: Emissions from methane, nitrous oxide and other greenhouse gases, including hydrofluorocarbons, per fluorocarbons and sulfur hexafluoride, divided by midyear population. Carbon dioxide emissions are not included. (2) CO2 per capita: Carbon dioxide emissions divided by midyear population. (3) Total CO2: Human-originated carbon dioxide emissions stemming from the burning of fossil fuels, gas flaring and the production of cement, including carbon dioxide emitted by forest biomass through depletion of forest areas.

  11. Positive Measures • Party to UNFCCC and Kyoto Protocol • Ratified UNFCCC in 1994 • Ratified Kyoto Protocol in 2002 • Integrating climate change objectives into national plans • Integrating climate change objectives intoNational Economic and Social Development Plan • Draft Climate Change Master Plan (2013-2050) • Climate Change Programme • Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs)
