Efforts to combat climate change have led several countries to establish a carbon neutral emission target. Thailand has pledged to reduce GHG emissions by 30-40 percent by 2030 and become carbon neutral by 2050. The energy sector is critical to obtaining these objectives because it accounts for nearly 70 percent of the country’s total emissions. Wh...

Energy resilience assessment is vital for identifying and addressing the risks and vulnerabilities of solar PV systems. This chapter provides an overview of resilience assessment of a 2.8 MW solar PV rooftop and solar PV carpark integrated systems located in the northwest coast of peninsular Malaysia. The resilience assessment methodology involves...

Growing severity of climate impacts created an awareness of necessity for climate actions of ASEAN member states. At the 26th United Nations Climate Change Conference of the Parties, national pledges, regional targets, and commitments were announced with an ambitious will to achieve carbon neutrality and net zero emission goals. National Energy Tec...

National energy plans play a significant role in responding to national energy needs and managing energy supply. Due to its geographical location, the Philippines encounters a series of unwelcome natural disasters and suffers from the climate crisis. A chapter on resilience of energy infrastructure is included in the Philippine Energy Plan 2020–204...

Located in fragile mountainous ecosystem, Bhutan is highly vulnerable to climate change and natural disasters. In addition, its economy is largely dependent on hydropower which is climate sensitive. This study aims to develop a framework for risk assessment of Bhutan’s power system and derive recommendations for resilience enhancement. The assessme...

Countries around the world are increasing the share of renewable energy in their energy mix to respond to the global call for sustainable development. Renewable energy infrastructure possesses different vulnerabilities from conventional fossil fuel power plants, and climate change is exacerbating the threats to the power system. Thailand developed...

Energy resilience has recently gained interest in both scientific and policy domains since it helps energy infrastructure withstand environmental impact and contributes to sustainable socio-economic development. Various definitions of energy resilience make it difficult for researchers to identify relevant research topics, research trends, and rela...

At COP26, the world leaders agreed to make critical infrastructure resilient to enhance our communities’ climate adaptability. Climate adaptation investment is particularly large for projects in transportation sector, which necessitates the confirmation of the projects’ economic feasibility. Cost benefit analysis (CBA) is generally used for this pu...

Electric vehicle (EV) is gaining interest in ASEAN Member States (AMSs). On the other hand, biofuel has been in the market long before the launch of EV. Suitable policy actions are necessary to balance both future targets to achieve carbon neutrality. Low Emission Analysis Platform (LEAP) is generally used to perform this kind of analysis to obtain...

Solar energy is planned to undergo large-scale deployment along with Thailand’s transformation to a carbon neutral society in 2050. In the course of energy transformation planning, the issue of energy infrastructure adaptation to climate change has often been left out. This study aims to identify climate-related risks and countermeasures taken in s...

Community-Based Tourism (CBT) offers local residents opportunities to manage local tourism resources while sustaining their lifestyle at the same time. The research objective of the study was to explore the process and experience of communities in Northern Thailand which are known as elephant habitats, how these communities strive for stimulating t...

Community-Based Tourism (CBT) has been presented as an alternative to sustaining tourism development in developing countries. This tourism model offers local residents an opportunity to manage natural and cultural resources in order to promote the local economy and generate greater benefits. The objective of the study is to investigate the benefits...
