#JustTransition: Why we need to Save Nabon community?

#ClimateJustice #JustTransition For more than one year, the #SaveNabon group has demanded the Thai government to conduct a Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) of a biomass-burning power plant project that proposes to build two power plants in their neighborhoods. The 'renewable energy' power plant that uses a waste-to-energy (WtE) system turns out to be a pollution generator that puts the community's health in danger. This 'renewable energy' solution only becomes a false

Is the Thai Government 'Greenwashing' us?

Not all talk about protecting the environment and fighting against climate change is sound. Too often, 'green' or 'sustainable' policies and practices are no more than a distraction from the real issues. Even more often, they are motivated by profit. Or even worse, they are a smokescreen for funding fossil fuels and driving deforestation. This is generally known as 'greenwashing'. What exactly is it & why the answer to it is Just Transition?

The Thai Government must protect local communities' rights from business exploitation!

🚨 Far too often, corporate abuse and exploitation target ethnic minorities and indigenous peoples. New projects are planned and realized without any human rights concerns and due diligence. The minimum legal requirements protecting the rights of concerned communities are often tainted by corrupt practices such as community manipulation or harassment of human rights defenders opposing the projects. And the benefits promised to the communities? The business operations eventual
