Thailand's Carbon Markets Club, the country's first greenhouse gas reduction network, is celebrating five years of climate action. The club, backed by Bangchak Corporation, is expanding youth participation through the Bangchak Group x University Gen Z-ESG program. This initiative aims to get a younger generation involved in carbon markets and sustainability efforts in Thailand. The program focuses on educating university students about carbon credits, emissions reduction, and ESG principles. By bringing in young participants, the Carbon Markets Club hopes to build a pipeline of future climate leaders. The club itself has been active in connecting businesses, government agencies, and academic institutions to drive voluntary carbon market activity in Thailand. For anyone tracking voluntary carbon markets in Southeast Asia, this is a notable example of how corporate-backed networks are trying to scale participation beyond large emitters. The real test will be whether these youth programs lead to measurable offset projects or remain awareness campaigns.
