Thailand’s forestry sector is gradually shifting toward a more climate- and market-oriented management framework, as forests are increasingly positioned as strategic assets for carbon sequestration, climate mitigation, and green economic growth under the Bio-Circular-Green (BCG) Economy model. As Thailand advances its net-zero target and strengthens forest-based carbon mechanisms, policy attention is increasingly focused on carbon market development, environmental integrity, and long-term financing for forest conservation and restoration. In response, the government is promoting forest carbon projects through mechanisms such as the Thailand Voluntary Emission Reduction Program (T-VER), reflecting a broader transition toward a carbon-driven, market-integrated forest sector that supports both climate goals and sustainable economic development.
