At its core is the creation of a national climate fund, designed to support Thailand's transition from a fossil-fuel economy to a low-carbon society. The Department of Climate Change and Environment (DCCE) is the central agency expected to steer the country's climate future. The bill mandates greenhouse gas reduction, adaptation measures, carbon pricing through taxes and trading, a climate fund and a national emissions inventory. The climate fund is a state body that will channel revenue from carbon-related tools into projects that support the low-carbon transition, he said. The climate fund receives an initial allocation of 200 million baht during its first two years.
