Development of Co-Design Method of Integrated Strategies with Adaptation to Climate Change in Thailand

In order to achieve the following project purpose of ADAP-T, this group promotes close communication among stakeholders in high level (ministerial, national committee level).

1. Based on the results of ST2 research groups, to examine the ways of adaptation measures by region and sector, and develop co-design methods for adaptation strategies.
2. It is considered effective to evaluate various effects and extract stakeholders’ interests through stakeholder analysis. Therefore, the evaluation criteria necessary for co-design with various stakeholders will be examined through reviews of plans that should incorporate advanced research and adaptation measures, interviews with planners and experts, and questionnaire surveys with citizens.
3. Based on the multi-criteria analysis, the combination of existing plans and adaptation options (portfolio) for each sector will be examined through collaboration with central government, local governments, citizens, local researchers and others.
4. Furthermore, to examine changes in evaluation criteria due to future population growth and economic growth, and their impact on portfolios. Workshops and symposiums will be held in order to accelerate co-design and realize good practices.
