ดีใจที่วันนี้ได้มีโอกาสแบ่งปันความตั้งใจของไทยในเรื่องสำคัญที่เป็นประโยชน์ร่วมกันที่เมืองดาวอสครับ ทั้งการยุติมลพิษจากพลาสติก ก้าวไปสู่ระบบหมุนเวียนและลดขยะให้เหลือศูนย์ ซึ่งประเทศไทยสนับสนุนการจัดทำสนธิสัญญา #GlobalPlasticsTreaty และพร้อมเดินหน้าในการเจรจาต่อไป นอกจากนี้ ผมยินดีที่ได้ร่วมการหารือโต๊ะกลมว่าด้วยการค้า การเงิน และสภาพภูมิอากาศ เพื่อเน้นย้ำความมุ่งมั่นของไทยที่จะเป็นส่วนหนึ่งของ 'ห่วงโซ่คุณค่าที่เชื่อถือได้ ยั่งยืน และใช้ทรัพยากรอย่างมีประสิทธิภาพ' ในขณะที่ไทยกำลังสมัครเป็นสมาชิก OECD และเร่งมุ่งสู่มาตรฐาน OECD ด้วยการพัฒนาห่วงโซ่อุปทานคาร์บอนต่ำที่ใช้ทรัพยากรอย่างมีประสิทธิภาพ Pleased with the active engagement on shared interests here in Davos. Today, I had an opportunity to speak to Thailand’s commitment to ending plastic pollution and moving towards circularity and zero waste. Thailand supports the development of the #GlobalPlasticsTreaty and will continue to actively engage in the negotiation process. Also pleased to join a Roundtable on Trade, Finance and Climate where I underlined Thailand’s commitment to remaining part of ‘trusted, sustainable and resource-efficient value chains’. As we are applying for OECD membership, we are working to adopt OECD standards for low-carbon and resource-efficient supply chains.

We want to see a future where actual secondary material markets for minerals and metals would exist, because they don't exist now, says @KBotwright from @wef. Kimberley talked with Kimmo @Tiilikainen after #WCEF2023 session. #CircularEconomy #Sustainability @SitraFund

👇👇👇very useful summary of a very useful OECD paper. The sobering nutshell summary: as both, demand and exports restrictions are growing, prepare for “Metallic Nationalism”. @marketplunger1 @Trade_EU @OECDtrade
The "Green Transition" is here. And it's one the most bullish events in metals and mining's history. This month, the OECD released a paper on "Raw Materials Critical For The Green Transition." I read it so you don't have to. A thread on what I found most important ... 🧵
