In 2019, Thammasat University, by Faculty of Economics, Thammasat University (through Thammasat University Research And Consultancy Institute (TURAC)), received a funding for the project “The Development of Monitoring and Evaluation System for the Promotion of Sustainable Consumption and Production in Thailand: Phase 2” from Office of Natural Resources and Environmental Policy and Planning (ONEP). This phase-2 project studied the calculation methods of SDG12 indicators, created, improved, and augmented the existing database to enable the importation, evaluation and monitoring of the selected SDG12 indicators.

The five selected indicators are the followings: 12.1.1 Number of countries with sustainable consumption and production (SCP) national action plans or SCP mainstreamed as a priority or a target into national policies; 12.4.2 Hazardous waste generated per capita and proportion of hazardous waste treated, by type of treatment; 12.7.1 Number of countries implementing sustainable public procurement policies and action plans; 12.8.1 Extent to which (i) global citizenship education and (ii) education for sustainable development (including climate change education) are mainstreamed in (a) national education policies; (b) curricula; (c) teacher education; and (d) student assessment; 12.B.1 Number of sustainable tourism strategies or policies and implemented action plans with agreed monitoring and evaluation tools.

Thammasat University Collaborating with ONEP in the Revision of the Thailand SCP Roadmap

In October 2020, Office of Natural Resource and Environmental Policy and Planning (ONEP) published the first revised version of Thailand Sustainable Consumption and Production Roadmap. This revision is a collaboration between Thammasat University and ONEP.

The purpose is to incorporate SDG 12 indicators as well as the related Master Plan for the National Strategy (2018-2037) into the previous version of the Roadmap which was drafted and implemented before the completion of the Master Plans of the National Strategy. Moreover, the revised roadmap was also designed to show more interconnectedness between sustainable consumption and sustainable production, i.e. all SCP sectors need to work together to achieve the SCP-related SDG goals (meaning SDG 12 and other related goals such as SDG 2 on food system, SDG 11 on building and constructions, SDG 4 on education for sustainable development and SDG 8 on sustainable tourism).

Asst. Prof. Chol Bunnag from Faculty of Economics, Thammasat University, and Director of SDG Research and Support Programme was working in collaboration with ONEP team and other stakeholders.
