Mono News Wins First Runner-Up Award for Environmental News Feature Exposing the Global Boiling Crisis

n May 29, 2026, at the Asawin Grand Convention Hotel, the Thailand Environment Institute (TEI) held its 33rd Anniversary Academic Seminar under the theme “Global Environment, Thai Environment: Adapt to Live, Learn to Survive.” The event served as a platform for exchanging knowledge, discussing policy directions, and exploring solutions to three major global environmental crises that pose significant challenges to Thailand: climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution. The seminar also featured an awards ceremony recognizing outstanding special reports on global environmental crises, honoring journalists who have effectively and powerfully communicated these critical issues to the public.

Mono29 received the First Runner-Up Award for its special report titled “2026: The Year of Earth’s Reset? When ‘Global Boiling’ Is No Longer Just a Warning.” The award was accepted by Nonthakrit Klomklorm, Mono29 News Anchor, and Charintra Kongiad, Content Creator, on behalf of the team. The award was presented by Dr. Piyasvasti Amranand, Chairman of the Thailand Environment Institute Foundation.

The award-winning feature report examines how 2026 recorded the highest global temperatures in 177 years, signaling what many experts describe as the final warning during the transition from global warming to global boiling. The report highlights the severe consequences for Thailand, which is facing a simultaneous triple threat of extreme heat, air pollution, and drought. According to the report, these extreme climate conditions are expected to continue through 2027, creating impacts that extend far beyond public health concerns.

The feature also reveals how the crisis is disrupting Thailand’s agricultural sector and causing economic losses estimated at more than 80 billion baht annually. Despite the growing severity of the situation, effective government measures to address and mitigate these impacts have yet to be fully implemented.

The recognition reflects Mono News’ commitment to delivering in-depth journalism that raises public awareness of critical environmental challenges and their far-reaching consequences for society and the economy.
