#InternationalDayforDisasterRiskReduction 🚨 | No, Bangkok's flood crisis is not “natural”. It’s tied to extractive commercial land development and industrial resource use.

Years of governmental neglect and profit-driven orientation in urban planning, disguised as development, have submerged Bangkok and Central Thailand under weeks of severe flooding.

🗣️Continuous flooding in the region is accelerated by decades of filling in natural water channels (khlongs) for real estate, heavy groundwater extraction by industrial plants and municipal flood defenses that protect financial districts over working-class neighborhoods.

🌏Across Southeast Asia, economic planning anchored in the interests of foreign corporations has altered natural buffer zones. Working-class women face the heaviest burdens, managing unpaid household care and sanitation as floodwaters rise.

✊🏽At Manushya, we stand alongside grassroots movements in rejecting market-based greenwashing and debt-creating climate loans branded as “climate solutions”. We call for loss and damage reparations, land sovereignty and structural economic reform that serves the interests of the people, not the foreign elite.⚖️
