Cross-Border Environmental Governance in Thailand: Pathways to Sustainable Development<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Thailand\u2019s cross-border environmental governance is increasingly critical to sustainable development in the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS), where transboundary ecological challenges are intensifying. Recent data reveal alarming trends: in 2024, Thailand lost 62.6 thousand hectares of natural forest, contributing to 29.5 million metric tons of CO\u2082 emissions. Meanwhile, arsenic and mercury contamination in the Kok and Sai rivers originating from upstream mining activities in Myanmar has exceeded safe limits, threatening water security for over 1.2 million people in northern Thailand. Air pollution remains a persistent issue, with PM2.5 levels in northern and east-northern Thailand rising due to seasonal transboundary haze linked to agricultural burning. As environmental problems occur across countries\u2019 borders, it is essential to have scientific proof for environmental governance strategies among countries. This presentation shares the analytical framework for cross-border governance for sustainable development as well as case study of transboundary research on preliminary risk assessment of nature related flow over the border area.

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Prof. Symeon Christodoulou, born in Cyprus, began his undergraduate studies in 1987 on an academic scholarship awarded by the Agency for International Development (AID), and in 1991 he received a B.Sc. degree in Civil Engineering from Columbia University (New York City, USA). He then went on to complete his graduate studies, all on academic and research scholarships from Columbia University, graduating in succession with a Master’s of Science (M.Sc., 1992), a Professional Engineering Degree (1995), a Master’s of Philosophy (M.Phil, 1996) and a Doctorate (Ph.D., 1998). Upon completion of his PhD, and after several years of industry experience in the field of construction management, he joined Polytechnic University (Brooklyn, New York) as an Assistant Professor of Civil Engineering and Head of the Construction Management Program of the university (1998 – 2003). In 2004 he joined the University of Cyprus, having also worked for a year in Cyprus (construction industry) and in Greece (Democritus University of Thrace) as an Adjunct Professor. Dr. Christodoulou is the author of several scientific publications, the recipient of significant research funding (including a prestigious award from the National Science Foundation, NSF) and the recipient of an international research award (London, 1999). He is an Associate Member of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), a reviewer for several scientific journals (ASCE, Elsevier, Taylor and Francis, Springer, IWA, etc.), a Board of Directors’ member of the Nireas International Water Research Center, and a member of Polytechnic\u2019s Center for Construction Management Technology.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_empty_space height=”50px”][vc_column_text]\n
Harnessing Engineering Intelligence for Environmental and Infrastructure Sustainability and Resilience <\/em>– From science, to engineering, application, deployment and entrepreunership.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0As global challenges from climate change, resource depletion, and urbanization intensify, integrating advanced engineering solutions with data-driven technologies has become essential. This keynote explores how artificial intelligence, machine learning, data science, and information technology can drive environmental sustainability and resilient infrastructure. Drawing from real-world projects, it highlights applications in transport modeling and monitoring, low-cost pavement assessment for emission reduction, water resources management through remote sensing, intelligent leak detection and sustainable water networks, and energy-efficient buildings using Building Information Modeling, digital twins, and AI. Beyond technical innovation, the keynote underscores the importance of entrepreneurship and translational science in bridging research and implementation. By transforming scientific knowledge into accessible, high-value, and scalable solutions, we can foster the next generation of responsive, efficient, and sustainable infrastructure systems\u2014paving the way toward a cleaner, smarter, and more equitable future.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”3979″ style=”vc_box_border_circle_2″ onclick=”link_image” css_animation=”none” title=”Prof. Dodi Wirawan Irawanto, SE., M.Com., Ph.D.”][vc_column_text]\n

Promoting Corporate Sustainability Through Green Leadership: Proposed model of green HRM and Environmental Knowledge<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Corporate sustainability has emerged as a critical component of organizational performance in today\u2019s environmentally sensitive business climate. Initiatives in Green Human Resources Management (GHRM) encourage green leadership, which is essential for advancing sustainability. In order to promote business sustainability, this article suggests a Green HRM and Environmental Knowledge paradigm. Incorporating green leadership into all facets of business operations will encourage and inspire staff members to embrace eco-friendly behaviors. Leaders that place a high priority on sustainability will set the tone for a culture that values environmental responsibility and inspires staff to come up with eco-friendly solutions, decrease waste, and save resources. In summary, encouraging business sustainability through green leadership necessitates an all-encompassing strategy that incorporates environmental knowledge and green human resource management.<\/p>\n
