The 1st meeting of the Bangkok Clean Air Action Plan Development Committee for 2026 was held on March 2, 2026, from 09:00 to 12:00, at the Nopparat conference room, 5th floor, Bangkok City Hall (Sao Chingcha). The meeting aimed to collectively deliberate on the strategic direction for developing the ad hoc plan and the clean air management plan for Bangkok, which serves as a vital mechanism for systematically addressing PM2.5 issues and urban air pollution.
The meeting saw participation from a diverse range of relevant government agencies, including those under the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) and central government agencies responsible for the environment, public health, transportation, energy, and industry, as well as other sectors involved in Bangkok’s air pollution management. This participation underscored the importance of cross-agency integration in developing a comprehensive plan that effectively addresses practical implementation needs.
The committee acknowledged the order of their appointment and deliberated on the (draft) action plan for the reduction and elimination of air pollution in the Bangkok pollution control area. This draft serves as a key mechanism to establish the foundation for policy collaboration and management, aiming to drive Bangkok toward having a concrete and sustainable clean air management plan that can be effectively put into practice.
