25 August 2025, 10:00–14:00 hrs, Dr. Praewa Wongburi, Assistant Dean for Policy, Planning, and International Relations, Faculty of Environment and Resource Studies, Mahidol University, led undergraduate students from the Bachelor of Science Program in Environmental Science and Technology and the Bachelor of Science Program in Natural Resources and Environmental Management (International Program) to participate in the 5th International Forum on Low Carbon Cities (IFLCC).

The forum, held at Conference Room 4, United Nations Conference Centre, Bangkok, was organized by the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP).

The 5th IFLCC addressed the critical intersection of urban sustainability, climate action, and demographic change in the Asia-Pacific region. As cities face rapid urbanization and shifting population dynamics—such as aging societies and youth bulges; there is an urgent need for policies that are low-carbon, inclusive, and responsive to diverse population needs.

The forum served as a platform for city leaders, researchers, youth, and private sector stakeholders to exchange strategies and innovative approaches toward advancing sustainable, low-carbon urban development. A central theme of this year’s event highlighted how demographic transitions, particularly the simultaneous growth of elderly and youth populations, shape the design and implementation of sustainable urban policies.

18 July, 2025, the Faculty of Environment and Resource Studies, Mahidol University, officially launched the "Carbon Neutrality Teacher's Manual." The event saw participation from various sectors, including teachers, school directors, and officials from different agencies nationwide, all aiming to collectively promote knowledge of carbon neutrality in classrooms, schools, and organizations across the country.

During the opening ceremony, Associate Professor Dr. Kitikorn Charmondusit, Dean of the Faculty of Environment and Resource Studies, emphasized that this manual is a crucial tool designed to help teachers transform classrooms into spaces where students, as the new generation, can learn, take action, and be inspired to be part of global change. This is achieved through mechanisms that drive carbon neutrality and net-zero greenhouse gas emissions, aligning with national goals to mitigate climate change impacts. The knowledge from this manual will lead to the development of a "School Living Lab," which creates learning and experimental areas for carbon reduction at the school level and fosters change leaders among students.

The Faculty of Environment and Resource Studies, Mahidol University, is continuously committed to promoting sustainable education, particularly through the Carbon Neutrality Campus (CNC) project. This project is supported by Mahidol University funding and benefits from collaboration with international organizations like UNESCAP and Shanghai Jiao Tong University. The initiative has been extended to the school level, based on the belief that youth are a vital force in driving society in the long term. Its main goals are to compile and disseminate knowledge about carbon neutrality and to develop the knowledge and skills that empower Thai educational institutions to achieve carbon neutrality and net-zero greenhouse gas emissions.

The "Carbon Neutrality Teacher's Manual" consists of 8 important lessons: Sustainability and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Climate Change, Greenhouse Gases and Their Impacts, Life Cycle Concept, Carbon Footprint, Greenhouse Gas Sequestration, Greenhouse Gas Emission Reduction, and Carbon Neutrality and Net-Zero Greenhouse Gas Emissions. The manual includes practical details to help teachers implement the content effectively, such as lesson objectives, key concepts, teaching guidelines, activity examples, quizzes, and assessment methods.

Towards the end of the event, the organizers invited all network schools to share their feedback and pictures of activities using the manual. Additionally, the concept of a "School Living Lab" was announced, which is a new approach to creating learning and experimental spaces for carbon reduction at the school level.
