CHONBURI, Thailand – Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul presided over the opening ceremony and delivered a keynote address titled “Navigating the Green Transition: Thailand’s Vision for Sustainable Development and Global Climate Action” at the 1st Green Bridge Forum, held at the Nongnooch International Convention and Exhibition Center in Chonburi. Hosted by the State Audit Office of Thailand, the forum brought together representatives from Supreme Audit Institutions around the world to exchange best practices on environmental governance and sustainable development.
Why the Green Transition matters?
- It drives economic transformation, enabling growth alongside environmental stewardship
- It attracts investment, boosts competitiveness, and strengthens energy security
- It requires key policies on clean energy, modern infrastructure, future-ready industries, responsible resource management, and eco-friendly innovation
Making this transition a reality takes strong governance, cost-effective budgeting, and verifiable transparency. And the State Audit Office plays a vital role here, evaluating policy outcomes and building investor confidence.
The “Green Bridge” concept captures this idea: a bridge connecting policy with innovation, and national priorities with global cooperation. As Chair of the International Organization of Supreme Audit Institutions (INTOSAI) Working Group on Environmental Auditing (INTOSAI WGEA), Thailand reaffirmed its readiness to work with the global community toward real, measurable progress on sustainable development. This milestone event underscores Thailand’s growing role in driving regional environmental accountability and sustainable economic growth. (NNT)
