Climate Change: Impact on Thailand
Thailand has signed and ratified the United Nations Convention on climate change and is available in the group Non - Annex I is no obligations to reduce greenhouse gas emissionsand other developing countries, Thailand release greenhouse gases, accounting for a very small 0 percent.6. The release of gas from all over the country, and the release of greenhouse gases, the head of the Thai (per capita emission) is lower than average average of the world
But in Thailand, however, the impact of climate change is not at least a volume of greenhouse gas emissions, depending on the release due to climate changeThe environment and the landscape is determined by the severity of impact on statistics in the past 50 years, showing that the temperature of the country is expected to increase more.Can be classified as follows:
as a key topics.1.
flood and drought.Climate Change may be the cause of heavy rain in some areas so that there is a problem and may cause floods floods speed up from every 10 years to every 5 years, especially the Chao Phraya River basinevaporate faster. So there may be a problem in the area, drought is a heavy rain, especially in the summer season and is expected to be Sri Nakarin Dam in Kanchanaburi province, which helps prevent the aggressive cutting-edge of the salt water will come into the river Mae Klong river.The quantity of rain that changes will have an impact on the water in the tank, the water level change soil water will influence long-term amount of groundwater and water from the artesian well
The impact of the flooding damage to life and property is tremendous. water flow into the flooded areas have destroyed the infrastructure such as streets and structures, etc. destroy cropThere was the contamination of the water and took the lives of many people in addition to the drought conditions affecting the agricultural sector of Thai farmers planted areas such as corn is limited.The problem is not the quantity of rain was also a consistent impact on the farming sugar cane with which the problem of agricultural products, which is a Thai export products have reduced volume and a lack of quality affect the overall economy of the country
2. The biological diversity
To change the temperature and rainfall will make components, and types of the forest, which makes a change. Many animals and plants species in Thailand will be reduced, and may be an endangered species.You can grow plants inherited the temperature increase, and the quantity of rain that changes to take effect, as a result of the house as well as the officer must have an adjustment to survive.2 - 3 of the migration is not able to go to in the district or a higher adjust to the warm air of the forest, to reduce production losses, genetic resources, which is the better of the country
The effect of climate change on water levels in water source, amount of water and the source of water of territory down to the concentration of nutrients, such as nitrogen and phosphorus in the water source, water has become a EutrophicationThere is the amount of oxygen decreases as a result of harmful to other types of water, biodiversity decline in quality decreases, causing a problem of hygiene to the community must rely on sources of water.
3.coastal area and the marine ecosystem
climate change global average water level increased by 0.09 - 0.88 meters has an effect on wave conditions and erosion affect coastal ecosystems coastal biological resources which are both major sources and occupation of coastal community production, fishing, agriculture and coastal areasand the economy of the country
the study of the impact of the increase of sea level in Thailand found that coastal areas are affected by the Gulf of Thailand has increased above the sea level of more than the Andaman coast coastal areas that have problems are seriousand as well as the nearby coast of Rayong province Petchaburi province down to the coast, Narathiwat is a serious erosion in the Western mouth of the Chao Phraya River in the area and the beach Hua HinThe coast is a hard rock cliffs, Phang Nga Bay area will be slower than the coastal erosion has been a rock cliffs, soft such as Rayong Bay area which has been erosion to retract until it went quickly and free space
4. Health Care
Climate Change may lead to an environment favorable to the spread of disease, such as Infection of the Avian malaria and if it is expected that higher temperature.Because the weather changes to be made to the rate of mosquitoes survive higher preliminary damage assessment which is about 26 Billion Baht
health problem in Thailand will become a problem in highly ranked climate change.which is likely to have a lot of population health problems caused infectious diseases, due to the following factors.
