Mongolia’s Plan to Join Three COP28 Declarations
The 2023 United Nations Climate Change Conference – COP28 is currently underway in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates, with leaders from around the world gathering to discuss and address the pressing issue of climate change. The conference, which began on November 30 and will run until December 12, provides an important platform for heads of state and governments to evaluate progress made in mitigating climate impact and propose measures to address the adverse effects of climate change, particularly under the Paris Agreement.
One country that has shown a strong commitment to joining in the declarations and proposals put forth at the conference is Mongolia. Drawing on research and recommendations from relevant ministries, Mongolia has expressed its dedication to participating in declarations related to critical issues such as the food system, climate change, and public health. This demonstrates the country’s proactive stance on addressing the challenges posed by climate change.
In addition to the main agenda of the conference, a new theme has emerged at COP28, focusing on the involvement of children in activities aimed at mitigating climate change and its adverse effects. Mongolia has signaled its intention to join three declarations initiated by the host country, the United Arab Emirates, which are related to sustainable agriculture, the food system, and health, as well as climate issues. This highlights the importance of engaging and empowering the younger generation to be part of global efforts to combat climate change.
As the conference progresses, it is hoped that the discussions and commitments made by participating countries, including Mongolia, will lead to concrete actions and strategies to address the urgent and complex challenges posed by climate change. With the active involvement of all stakeholders, including governments, civil society, and youth, COP28 has the potential to generate meaningful and impactful outcomes in the global fight against climate change.
