| Abstract | The 2023 Thai General Election marked a turning point in national political discourse, with climate justice emerging as a central theme across party platforms. This study examines how three major political parties—the Move Forward Party (MFP), Chart Thai Pattana Party (CTPP), and Pheu Thai Party (PTP)—framed climate governance through the lenses of distributive, procedural, and intergenerational justice.Drawing on qualitative content analysis of campaign materials and public debates, the study identifies ideological divergences in addressing climate challenges. The MFP emphasized grassroots participation and renewable energy; the CTPP focused on rural resilience and adaptation through carbon markets, and the PTP embedded climate goals within a broader socio-economic justice agenda. While all parties expressed commitments to equity, inclusion, and sustainability, challenges remain in implementation, enforcement, and participatory governance. This study contributes to understanding how electoral politics can foster more just and inclusive climate governance in emerging democracies such as Thailand. |
