/MONTSAME/ The ‘Vision-2050’ is a policy document, which was formulated by a
working group comprising of 1500 people, including scholars, experts and state
secretaries of 13 ministries, heads of some government agencies, authorities of
universities and representatives of non-government organizations. According to
the Prime Minister's order No: 52 dated April 30, 2019, the working group
analyzed development stages of the past 30 years of Mongolia and formulated the
policy document that will define long and mid-term development policy until
2050. We are presenting 9 fundamental goals of the development policy in
detail.
Despite
being one of the few countries that have preserved their natural landscapes
comparatively well, Mongolia continues to face environmental degradation and
pollution and is on the brink of natural resource exhaustion/scarcity and
ecosystem collapse in some of its regions due to human activities such as
urbanization and industrialization as well as environmental and climate changes
Thus, the
country seeks environmentally-friendly green growth and aims to
ensure environmental sustainability through green development, let the younger
generation enjoy its benefits, and boost people’s quality of life in defining
its development policy in line with world trends.
Efforts will
be directed at protecting and reclaiming the environment and ecosystems by
setting ceilings on their value, load-bearing capacity, and life-sustaining
capacity; putting natural resources into economic circulation with government
directions through research-based development planning; increasing productivity
through the development of resource-efficient, fruitful, low-waste advanced
technology-based production and innovative products and services; and inculcating
eco-friendly practices in people's everyday lives;
This goal comprises of the following sub development goals:
- To
appreciate and protect the environment's value and productivity and ensure stability of primary production;
- To pass down
well-preserved natural resources to the younger generation by reclaiming
natural resources and reducing their exhaustion;
- To save and
efficiently supply water with the purpose of preventing water resource
scarcity;
- To contribute to the international climate change mitigation efforts through the development of low-carbon, fruitful, inclusive green economy;
