The events highlighted bamboo’s critical role in environmental conservation, sustainable development and economic empowerment. Experts attending the event urged the United Nations to declare September 18 as International Bamboo Day to boost global awareness about bamboo’s role in addressing pressing challenges like climate change, poverty and deforestation.

The event was jointly organized by Faculty of Architecture at Chiang Mai University, along with partners such as TECEB, Chiang Mai Life Constructions, Thai Bamboo Community, Malaysia Bamboo Society, Wongpai, Thailand and European Bamboo Society along with international bamboo organizations.

Along with these sessions, three hands-on workshops were organized namely, Bamboo Construction and Architecture (by the Faculty of Architecture, CMU), Bamboo Furniture Design (by the National Institute of Design, India) and Bamboo Bike Making (by Ir. Ahamed, Malaysia).

CEO of Chiang Mai Life Constructions Dr Markus Roselieb delivered the World Bamboo Day Talk 2024 at Panyaden International School. He also showcased sustainability of bamboo in architecture notably through his bamboo-based design of the school. Chief guest Dr Chowna Mein, deputy chief minister of Arunachal Pradesh, stressed the importance of integrating bamboo into sustainable development policies.

Founder of World Bamboo Day and Executive Director of SAbF Kamesh Salam stressed,  “Bamboo is not just an eco-friendly alternative; it’s a viable solution for sustainable livelihoods.” He proposed holding Global World Bamboo Day Celebration every two years.

Dr. Mein also presented the prestigious “Bamboo Guru” Awards, instituted by the SAbF, to 12 individuals for their exceptional contributions to the promotion and sustainable use of bamboo within the framework of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.
