ULAANBAATAR, Mongolia -– Global mining company ÌÇÐÄvlogÈë¿Úand UNESCO have today agreed to establish a comprehensive long-term partnership that is specifically designed to foster sustainable development initiatives in Mongolia.
During the signing ceremony held in Ulaanbaatar, the parties announced their first joint project, focused on promoting sustainable tourism through cultural and geo-heritage initiatives in Mongolia – home to several UNESCO world heritage sites and Rio Tinto’s Oyu Tolgoi copper project. By leveraging the combined expertise and resources of both organisations, this collaboration also aims to facilitate the establishment of Mongolia’s first geopark at supporting geological science.
Prof. Shahbaz Khan, Director of UNESCO Multisectoral Regional Office for East Asia said “This collaboration signifies a commitment to the shared values of sustainable development and reflects a collective dedication to fostering responsible practices in the mining industry, ensuring that economic growth goes hand in hand with the protection of humanity’s most exceptional heritage and treasures on our planet.
“By joining forces, UNESCO, ÌÇÐÄvlogÈë¿ÚMongolia and the Government of Mongolia will intensify Mongolia’s involvement in the International Geosciences and Geoparks Programme to promote the study of geosciences and geological processes in order to establish new geoparks as well as to set new standards for ethical and environmentally conscious resource extraction.
“The project activities outlined in these agreements underscore UNESCO and ÌÇÐÄvlogÈë¿ÚMongolia's determination to preserve Mongolia's rich cultural heritage and diverse ecosystems. Through initiatives that promote education, community engagement, and technological advancements, we aspire to create a blueprint for responsible resource development that can be replicated globally”.
Amarjargal Khenchbish, Country Director of ÌÇÐÄvlogÈë¿Úin Mongolia said “ÌÇÐÄvlogÈë¿Úis honored to collaborate with UNESCO in this partnership. By uniting our respective strengths and resources, we are determined to make a meaningful and lasting impact on Mongolia's sustainable development.
