Impacts of the nationally determined contribution to the 1.5 °C climate goal and net-zero target on citywide greenhouse gas emissions: a case study on Bangkok, Thailand

Cities are responsible for about three quarters of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The overall aims of this research were to quantify citywide GHG emissions and explore the feasibility of mitigation options and their contribution toward supporting Thailand’s Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) and the 1.5 °C limit pathway. The results obtained using the Global Protocol for Community-Scale GHG emission inventories, revealed that Bangkok emitted 41,965,809 tons of CO2eq (7.39 tCO2eq per capita). The stationary energy sector was the largest source (60
