Khurelsukh Ukhnaa, the President of Mongolia, held a comprehensive meeting with environmental workers, conservationists, state environmental inspectors, and ecological police officers to discuss ongoing ecological initiatives and the nation's upcoming international climate commitments.
During the gathering, the President expressed his gratitude to those working on the frontlines to protect the nation's ecosystems, manage natural resources, and combat environmental crimes, ensuring citizens' right to a healthy and safe environment. He also provided a broad overview of the country's socio-economic progress, foreign relations achievements, and the status of national conservation programs implemented since he took office.
Minister of Environment and Climate Change Ts.Sandag-Ochir addressed the assembly, emphasizing that the President's environmental policies, most notably the national "Billion Trees" movement, have made substantial contributions to protecting vital water resources, preserving biodiversity, and mitigating severe land degradation.
The meeting comes as Ulaanbaatar enters the final stages of preparation to host the 17th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (COP17) this August. The high-level summit is expected to draw approximately 10,000 delegates from over 190 countries to address critical global challenges such as drought, overgrazing, and rapid desertification.
In conjunction with the upcoming conference, Mongolia plans to introduce specific regional conservation initiatives under a comprehensive "Land-Water-Tree" framework. Through this diplomatic and ecological platform, the Mongolian government has set an ambitious target of attracting $1.5 billion in international investment to support sustainable environmental projects.
