From 2013 to 2023, Thailand's carbon dioxide emissions demonstrated a fluctuating yet generally increasing trend. After a decline in 2014 and 2016, emissions rose again, reaching 261.89 million metric tons in 2023, indicating a steady year-on-year increase since 2018. The year-on-year percentage variations and a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 1.65% from 2018 to 2023 reflect this growth.
The forecasted data from 2024 onward suggests a continued increase, with an expected CAGR of 0.8% over the next five years, culminating in 275.51 million metric tons by 2028, a 4.07% growth rate from 2023.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of Thailand’s energy policies, advancements in renewable energy adoption, and potential regulatory changes aimed at reducing carbon emissions. Tracking these factors will be key to understanding the actual trajectory of emissions within the country.
