On October 19, 2026, the Faculty of Environment and Resource Studies, Mahidol University, led by Associate Professor Dr. Kitikorn Charmondusit, Dean of the Faculty, held a meeting with Phra Ratchawachirasutaphon, the Ecclesiastical Provincial Governor of Nakhon Pathom, at Wat Bang Chang Nuea.

Representatives from Wat Bang Chang Nuea and Nakprasith School also attended the meeting to discuss plans for tree survey activities aimed at assessing carbon sequestration and exploring opportunities for collaboration in promoting environmental education among students.

The meeting focused on reviewing the proposed activities and assessing the suitability of potential study sites, including Wat Bang Chang Nuea and the Bang Chang Nuea Training Center.

The proposed activities will provide students with opportunities to participate in tree surveys and measurements, allowing them to learn how to estimate the amount of carbon absorbed and stored in tree biomass.

The activities will focus specifically on assessing carbon sequestration in trees and will not include greenhouse gas emissions assessments.

As part of the next steps, the project team will review and refine the activity plan to ensure greater clarity. Training sessions on tree measurement techniques will be arranged for participants before field activities begin.

The team will also coordinate with Nakprasith School to schedule the activities in accordance with the students' academic calendar and school activities. The revised implementation plan will subsequently be submitted to Wat Bang Chang Nuea for further consideration before proceeding.

The meeting marked an important preparatory step toward strengthening collaboration among the university, the temple, and educational institutions. Through hands-on participation in local natural resource surveys, the initiative aims to enhance environmental awareness and understanding of climate change among students.

On October 15, 2026, the Faculty of Environment and Resource Studies, Mahidol University, held a signing ceremony for a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on “Promoting Cooperation on Climate Change, Greenhouse Gas Emission Reduction, and Low-Carbon Urban Development in Sam Phran Town Municipality, Nakhon Pathom Province.”

The agreement was signed between the Faculty of Environment and Resource Studies, Mahidol University, and Sam Phran Town Municipality.

The signatories were Associate Professor Dr. Kitikorn Charmondusit, Dean of the Faculty of Environment and Resource Studies, and Mr. Thammasak Jirawittayapong, Mayor of Sam Phran Town Municipality.

Associate Professor Dr. Nopphol Arunrat, Deputy Dean for Research and Academic Services, and Ms. Watcharee Chinwong, Director of the Division of Public Health and Environment, Sam Phran Town Municipality, signed as witnesses.

The signing ceremony took place at the Sam Phran Town Municipality Office.

The collaboration aims to integrate academic knowledge, research, and expertise from both organizations to strengthen environmental management and climate change responses at the local level.

A key focus is to enhance personnel capabilities in collecting, analyzing, and assessing greenhouse gas emissions data at both organizational and community levels.

The two organizations will also jointly develop a carbon footprint database to support the formulation of greenhouse gas reduction policies and measures appropriate to the local context of Sam Phran Town Municipality.

Under the cooperation framework, both organizations will work together to position Sam Phran Town Municipality as a pilot local administrative organization for low-carbon development.

Key activities will include conducting greenhouse gas emission surveys and preparing emissions inventories covering major sources such as energy consumption, transportation, solid waste management, and wastewater treatment.

The collaboration will also involve assessing greenhouse gas mitigation potential and developing area-based emission reduction plans aligned with local development strategies.

In addition, both organizations will undertake joint research, academic services, training programs, and technology transfer activities to strengthen the capabilities of municipal personnel, local communities, young people, and relevant partner networks.

This MOU represents another significant step in translating academic knowledge into practical local development initiatives.

By encouraging participation from government agencies, citizens, businesses, and local communities, the partnership seeks to support the transition toward carbon neutrality and promote sustainable low-carbon urban development.

The Faculty of Environment and Resource Studies, Mahidol University, proudly congratulates its students on their outstanding achievement as members of Team Appamada, which won the First Runner-Up Award at the “MUICT & THE MALL Hackathon 2026: Smart Retail Solutions for a Sustainable Future.”

The competition was jointly organized by the Faculty of Information and Communication Technology, Mahidol University (ICT Mahidol), and THE MALL GROUP on October 14, 2026, at Mahidol University, Salaya Campus.

Team Appamada consisted of the following members:

Students from the Faculty of Environment and Resource Studies

Bachelor of Science Program in Natural Resources and Environmental Management (International Program)

1. Thanawat Kawngam
2. Aris Poonpeam

Students from the Faculty of Information and Communication Technology (ICT)

3. Thanarat Pholboonyawawat
4. Kritamet Muangdee
5. Boonyanuch Phongphaew

The competition brought together 30 participating teams, of which 13 advanced to the final round.

The hackathon focused on developing innovative solutions for sustainable retail businesses by integrating digital technologies with environmental sustainability principles, Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) considerations, and Net Zero concepts.

The Faculty of Environment and Resource Studies extends its congratulations to all participating students for their remarkable achievement and their ability to integrate knowledge from different disciplines to develop innovative solutions that contribute to sustainable development.

On 9 October 2026, the Faculty of Environment and Resource Studies, Mahidol University, organized a three-hour training session on “Fundamentals of Climate Change, Greenhouse Gas Emissions Assessment, and Carbon Credits.” The target participants were second-year students and above enrolled in the Bachelor of Science Program in Natural Resources and Environmental Management (International Program). The training aimed to strengthen students’ understanding of climate change, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions assessment, and carbon credit mechanisms, while developing their analytical thinking and problem-solving skills through practical exercises.

The training began with a session on climate change, global warming, and greenhouse gases, led by Dr. Kanawat Paoin, who introduced the causes of climate change, major greenhouse gases and their emission sources, and the environmental, economic, and social impacts of climate change. This was followed by a session on Carbon Footprint for Organization (CFO) and GHG emissions assessment, led by Dr. Achiraya Chaichaloempreecha. The session covered organizational and operational boundaries, the classification of Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions, activity data, emission factors, and the basic principles of GHG emissions calculation.

The practical session, led by Dr. Abhisit Bhatsada, introduced students to the Excel template developed by the Thailand Greenhouse Gas Management Organization (Public Organization: TGO) for organizational carbon footprint assessment. Working with a simulated business case study, students practiced classifying emission sources, entering activity data, and calculating GHG emissions. The session also encouraged students to interpret calculation results, identify major emission sources, and discuss practical measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

The training concluded with a review of the key concepts connecting climate change, GHG emissions, organizational carbon footprints, emissions assessment, and GHG reduction. Through this combination of foundational knowledge and hands-on learning, the activity enabled students in the international program to apply environmental assessment principles to simulated business scenarios and better understand the role of GHG emissions reduction in sustainable business practices.
