Additionally, Dr.Srichattra highlighted the outcomes of the Technology Needs Assessment (TNA) Phase I, conducted by the NXPO- APEC CTF under the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation. The TNA findings have been incorporated into various national plans, enabling Thailand to consistently secure support for technology transfer projects from the UNFCCC. The ongoing TNA Phase V will gather input from the private sector, a key factor in driving greenhouse gas emission reductions both nationally and regionally in the Asia Pacific.
