Strengthening Thailand's institutional and technical capacities to comply with the Enhanced Transparency Framework of the Paris Agreement Thailand has the necessary capacities and institutional arrangements to comply with the requirements of the Enhanced Transparency Framework. Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency. Implementing the Enhanced Transparency Framework of the UNFCCC should help raise ambition and ultimately facilitate progress towards the ultimate objective of the UNFCCC Convention in terms of stabilizing the concentration of GHG gases in the atmosphere, thus reducing dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system and their impacts. This has become more evident following the results presented by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in October 2018 stating the urgency of climate action in the next following decades, in terms of avoiding the worse effects of changes in climate conditions at global and local level. At the global level, if Thailand complies with its NDC and is able to demonstrate it with a robust tracking system, it will effectively contribute with its share of mitigation of GHG emissions to the global common effort, as well as setting an example at the regional level and beyond. Moreover, this will also have important benefits in the areas of GHG inventory, mitigation, capacity building and tracking of finance. The design of a domestic tracking system for the NDC as well as the support received, and the innovative elements contained in this project, are not only coherent with the Article 13 of the PA related to transparency, but also with the NDC implementation and its periodical revision described in article 4.    Moreover, given the growing emphasis of development assistance on accountability, projects leading to increased transparency will likely facilitate access to additional funds (e.g. through the Green Climate Fund and others). At the national and local levels, a robust Transparency Framework for Climate in Thailand will also make more evident the benefits of the implementation of climate related projects at sub national level, allowing also for a better internalization of the climatic impacts posed by vulnerable communities of the country. Specifically, the engagement of stakeholders in AFOLU and specifically Agriculture may help visualize problems experienced by climate vulnerable communities throughout the country. In terms of subnational work, Components 1 and 4 have defined specific activities aimed at strengthening capacities at the local level and for non-state actors. This includes training activities aimed particularly with subnational officials. The compilation and use of activity data in AFOLU will be useful to improve the GHG Inventory of Thailand, strengthening also the implementation of mitigation measures at the subnational level.    In terms of adaptation benefits, Component 4 is specifically geared towards the effective integration of adaptation issues in climate change plans/measures/strategies, thus directly aiming at increasing the resilience of basic development in the areas of Agriculture. Climate change-induced impacts on Agriculture disproportionately affects the most vulnerable communities; a climate-resilient agricultural policy planning will bring benefits to these population groups.
