泰国的地理、经济和发展水平使其易受气候变化的影响。据泰国气象部门统计,从1955年到2009年,泰国年平均气温显著上升了0.95摄氏度,高于世界平均气温0.69摄氏度的上升程度,年最高、平均和最低气温也都上升了0.86摄氏度。从1993年到2008年,泰国湾的海平面每年上升3~5毫米,而全球每年上升幅度只有1.7毫米。

泰国全年温暖气候的时间长度有所增加,降雨模式也在发生变化。2006年至2010年,泰国雨季中干旱期更长,雨季降雨强度更大。由于气候变化,泰国经历了漫长的干旱期,更频繁和强烈的热带风暴和山洪暴发,以及不可预测的寒冷期。

泰国大约32%的人口依靠农业为生。农产品的生长依赖特定的气候条件,这些气候条件又受气候变化的影响。此外,泰国的干旱和洪水也与气候变化直接相关,1989年至2010年间,干旱和洪水影响了2%至27%的农业用地,并导致农作物减产。

Thailand's geography, economy and development level make it vulnerable to climate change. According to the statistics of the Thai meteorological department, from 1955 to 2009, the annual average temperature in Thailand increased significantly by 0.95 ℃, higher than the world average temperature by 0.69 ℃, and the annual maximum, average and minimum temperatures also increased by 0.86 ℃. From 1993 to 2008, the sea level in the Gulf of Thailand increased by 3 ~ 5mm every year, while the global annual increase was only 1.7mm.
The length of warm climate in Thailand has increased throughout the year, and the rainfall pattern is also changing. From 2006 to 2010, Thailand had a longer dry period in the rainy season and greater rainfall intensity in the rainy season. Due to climate change, Thailand has experienced a long dry period, more frequent and intense tropical storms and flash floods, and unpredictable cold periods.
About 32% of Thailand's population depends on agriculture for a living. The growth of agricultural products depends on specific climatic conditions, which are affected by climate change. In addition, drought and floods in Thailand are also directly related to climate change. From 1989 to 2010, drought and floods affected 2% to 27% of agricultural land and reduced crop production.
