The Thai government’s decision on 10 March 2026 to extend the Thailand–Japan Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) cooperation for another three years risks locking Thailand into long-term fossil fuel dependence at a time when the global transition away from fossil fuels is accelerating, Greenpeace Thailand and Greenpeace East Asia warned.

Greenpeace Thailand, the Environmental Law Foundation (EnLAW), and civil society networks convened the public forum “Vote for Climate, Write for Justice” today at the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre (BACC). The forum amplified the voices of affected communities and called on political parties to address the climate and environmental crisis through accountable, long-term public policy, rather than limiting environmental discourse to election-period commitments.

At the opening ceremony of the 2nd Thailand Climate Action Conference, Greenpeace Thailand activists launched a series of protests, holding a banner with a message ‘Our forest ≠ Carbon credit, Stop Greenwashing’, and projecting a laser message that read ‘Stop forest carbon offset, Real-Zero Not Net-Zero’ directed at the country’s new prime minister Srettha Thavisin and the Thai government to decouple its climate policy from false solutions like carbon offsetting scheme.
