Distinguished Delegates, <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ladies and Gentlemen,<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the outset, I wish to\nextend my sincere appreciation to the Government of the Republic of Korea for\norganizing this summit in these difficult times when every country in the world\nis fighting with the pandemic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the past several years, we negotiated too many times and pledged ambitious goals to combat climate change, reduce environmental degradation and conserve the nature. Unfortunately, the implementation and concrete results are extremely unsatisfactory.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mongolia\nis one of the most affected and vulnerable countries by the climate change. The\nfrequency of natural hazards doubled in the last two decades and their economic\nimpacts are increasing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We must limit global warming\nto 1.5 degrees Celsius in order to prevent natural disasters and damages\nresulting from the climate change. This is the basic and most effective way to\nprotect our planet. Every country pledged to define and implement its national\ngoal to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions with the framework of the Paris Agreement. For Mongolia, we increased our initial commitment from\n22.7 percent to 27.2 percent by 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dear delegates, <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is an urgent need to intensify the transition to environment\nfriendly green technologies through public-private partnerships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this reason, shortly after my election as the President of Mongolia\nI made a concrete proposal to establish and implement a \u201cNorth East Asian Super Grid\u201d renewable energy project, which\nis one of the green technologies, during the Eastern Economic Forum in\nVladivostok, Russia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Mongolian Gobi desert, which sees 270 sunny and clear days per year,\nis the world\u2019s second largest solar energy source after the Sahara desert. We\nhave a big potential to use this abundant source to generate electricity,\nreduce peak demand for electricity in countries such as South Korea and also\nstore electricity using seasonal and time zone differences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The renewable energy network is the most optimal and economic solution\nfor protecting the environment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Time and climate change will\nnot wait us. We call on\nall countries to take\ndecisive, effective and concrete actions to transform our economic recoveries\nafter the pandemic into the environment friendly \u201cgreen\u201d model and start to\nfulfill our commitments made\nbefore the international community while every country is overcoming the\npandemic with less damage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thank you for the attention. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"date":"2021-05-30T17:46:55","excerpt":{"rendered":"
