Opening segment – Mr. Chadchart Sittipunt, Governor of Bangkok, shared his views on environmental policies for Bangkok—a city with over 10 million cars, more skyscrapers than trees, and exceptionally high electricity consumption.

Main discussion – Mr. Chadchart Sittipunt, Governor of Bangkok, and Assoc. Prof. Dr. Singh Intrachooto, Chief Advisor at the Research & Innovation for Sustainability Center, discussed the BMA Net Zero Waste goal (Bangkok Carbon Neutral) and the importance of waste separation and upcycling as key starting points toward building a sustainable city.
Q&A session – Mr. Chadchart Sittipunt engaged in an open question-and-answer session with members of the public attending the event.
