🚨 BREAKING: As Gastech Exhibition & Conference 2026 opened in Bangkok, 200+ people from affected communities and 45+ organizations across Asia are pushing back on fossil gas expansion    While governments, gas companies, and financiers gather to negotiate the next wave of LNG deals, a very different conversation has been unfolding across Thailand—one led by the led by the communities expected to bear the costs of those decisions.    🚐 Over 10 days, a caravan of farmers, fishers, academics, and civil society advocates traveled the length of Thailand’s gas chain, from LNG import infrastructure in Rayong to the Ministry of Energy in Bangkok. Along the way, communities raised concerns about declining marine resources, water stress, and food security, while calling for meaningful public participation in Thailand's energy planning.     Their message is simple: Thailand’s next energy plan should not lock the country into decades more of fossil gas dependence at the expense of coastal and agricultural communities.    But this conversation extends beyond Thailand.    More than 45 organizations across Asia and beyond have signed onto a joint call for governments, banks, and companies to reject further fossil gas expansion and accelerate a just transition to clean energy.  For SFOC, one question sits at the center of this debate: who is financing this buildout? Much of the capital behind gas infrastructure across the region continues to originate in South Korea, even as affected communities are often excluded from the decisions that shape their future.    🔗 Read the joint statement in the comments.    #Gastech2026 #LNG #FossilFuelFinance #ClimateJustice
