Held at the Benchakitti Forest Park Museum Building, the event was hosted by H.E. Mr. Masato Otaka, the Ambassador of Japan to Thailand, who welcomed Mr. Pornphrom Vikitsreth, Adviser to Governor of Bangkok and BMA Chief Sustainability Officer, along with representatives from 15 embassies and UNESCAP. The meeting served as a strategic platform to determine environmental priorities for 2026, report on past achievements, and exchange successful urban greening practices. During the session, Mr. Pornphrom presented the BMA&#8217;s environmental roadmap and engaged in discussions regarding future cooperation, highlighting best practices from the Danish and Swiss Embassies as well as Japan\u2019s specific environmental initiatives in Bangkok.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A cornerstone of this collaboration is a joint pledge signed by the BMA, 15 diplomatic missions, and UNESCAP to proactively advance sustainability through a framework of eight operational areas. These include waste management, transportation, adaptation and greening, energy conservation, and the management of air, water, food, and the green economy. This comprehensive approach aligns the city\u2019s environmental policies directly with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), ensuring that Bangkok&#8217;s growth remains in harmony with global standards. By fostering this city-level and international synergy, the BMA aims to concretely propel Bangkok toward becoming a resilient, sustainable green city. The meeting was attended by key officials, including Mr. Thosapol Suparee, Deputy Director-General of the BMA&#8217;s Environment Department, and diplomats from Japan, Colombia, and Mexico, marking a significant step in collective climate action for the capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>#UNESCAP #Ecofriendly #BMA #Japan<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On February 4, 2026, the Bangkok Metropolitan Administr &hellip; <\/p>\n<p class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/pr-bangkok.com\/?p=573275\" class=\"more-link\">\u0e2d\u0e48\u0e32\u0e19\u0e40\u0e1e\u0e34\u0e48\u0e21\u0e40\u0e15\u0e34\u0e21<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;BMA Partners with 15 Embassies and UNESCAP to Promote Eco-Capitals Forum, Steering Bangkok Towards Sustainability&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":101,"featured_media":573276,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[267],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-573275","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-eng0"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pr-bangkok.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/573275","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pr-bangkok.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pr-bangkok.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pr-bangkok.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/101"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pr-bangkok.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=573275"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/pr-bangkok.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/573275\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":573285,"href":"https:\/\/pr-bangkok.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/573275\/revisions\/573285"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pr-bangkok.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/573276"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pr-bangkok.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=573275"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pr-bangkok.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=573275"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pr-bangkok.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=573275"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
