The symposium facilitated policy and practical exchanges on two fundamental agendas that serve as critical keys to the transition, working together to reach conclusions for driving the low-carbon society forward: 1) Energy Transition aimed at elevating energy systems to align with Net Zero targets, and 2) Just Transition for SMEs creating opportunities for small and medium enterprises to genuinely access ESG mechanisms.

The forum was honored by global leaders including Mr. Koji Sato – President and CEO, Toyota Motor Corporation, Mr. David McLachlan-Karr – Regional Director, UN Development Coordination Office (DCO), Asia-Pacific, and researchers from MIT including Dr. Sai Ravela – Principal Research Scientist, Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences (EAPS), MIT and Prof. Miho Mazereeuw – Director of MIT Climate Mission and Director of Urban Risk Lab, MIT, alongside Dr. ​Sethaput Suthiwartnarueput, Governor of the Bank of Thailand, who presented approaches for adaptation, building resilience, and enhancing Thailand's long-term competitiveness.
