On March 9, 2026, Hub of Talents on Air Pollution and Climate (HTAPC), in partnership with Clean Air Asia and Breathe Cities, hosted the “BAQ 2026 Pre-event: Clear Skies for Bangkok: From Vision to Action” at the Princeton Hotel, Bangkok. The event reviewed Bangkok’s progress as a designated Pollution Control Area, focusing on science-based policies and integrated pollution control measures.
The forum gathered a diverse group of stakeholders, including international and domestic experts, government representatives, and civil society, highlighting the need for multi-sectoral cooperation.
Key sessions featured an overview of Bangkok’s action plans and a lecture by HTAPC Director Dr. Supat Wangwongwatana on “Clean Air Action Plan for Bangkok: Mitigation Measures for Pollution Control Zone.” Dr. Supat also facilitated a workshop addressing major pollution sources, including transportation, biomass burning, and transboundary haze, to develop concrete, actionable solutions.
This meeting represents a vital step in unifying knowledge and efforts to drive Bangkok toward sustainable development, better public health, and clean air.
