Chiang Mai Nayu
Chiang Mai Nayu Sustainability is a volunteer initiative comprised of Thai and foreign residents working together in contributing to the transformation of Chiang Mai City to be a living model of a sustainable livable city by 2030. Nayu describes a flourishing and sustainable place and community.
Chiang Mai ‘Nayu’ Sustainability contributes to the City’s sustainability transformation by providing a free, online source of relevant, accurate and reliable information on ‘key indicators’ of our city’s sustainability progress, as framed by the ‘Sustainability Compass’. The four key dimensions of sustainability – environmental sustainability; economic sustainability, society sustainability and individual wellbeing. This initiative is focused on the four sub-districts of Chiang Mai city (Nakornping, Kawila, Meangrai, Seewichai).

towards sustainability
To explore our city’s progress towards sustainability, we are using a simple tool to allow navigation through the lens of the Sustainability Compass.
The Sustainability Compass (“Compass” for short) is a tool for orienting people towards sustainability. Compass helps bring people together around a common understanding of sustainability, and a shared vision for getting there. It also helps you monitor progress along the way.
Click anywhere on the Compass below to explore Chiang Mai’s progress within each of dimensions of development – Nature – Economy – Society – Wellbeing. Under each dimension of the Compass, there are 5-6 key aspects that have been identified through an on-going community consultation process to track the City’s transformation.
NATURE
Living within the Earth’s physical & biological limits. Restoring and regenerating ecosystems and their services.
