This paper analyzes how Thailand’s attempts to control open burning, a critical source of short-lived climate pollutants and an increasingly serious problem in Northern Thailand. The authors state that the country's 2012 initiative to combat open burning, called the Eight-Point Plan, offered a wider range of compliance incentives than previously-adopted control efforts. The plan’s effectiveness, however, they argue, depends on improving the quality/coverage of monitoring data, expanding community engagement, and providing multi-year funding for sustained implementation.
