Ulaanbaatar, November 7, 2025 /MONTSAME/. The 30th Conference of the Parties (COP30) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) is being held from November 6 to 21, 2025, in Belém, Federative Republic of Brazil.
Negotiators, scientists, and civil society have convened to advance priority actions in the global response to climate change.
COP30 marks a pivotal milestone in the implementation of the Paris Agreement, as Parties are expected to submit enhanced Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) to meet the Agreement’s temperature goals of limiting global warming to well below 2°C, and pursuing efforts to limit it to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.
The high-level segment of the conference is attended by representatives of 143 Member States, including the host, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, President of Brazil, and the United Nations Secretary-General, António Guterres.
In his opening remarks, the Secretary-General Guterres emphasized, “The United Nations will not give up on the 1.5°C goal. The 1.5°C limit is a red line for humanity. It must be kept within reach.”
The Mongolian delegation, led by Munkhtushig Lkhanaajav, State Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and officials from the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change, is participating in COP30 following the country’s recent submission of its Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) referred to as NDC 3.0.
Mongolia’s NDC 3.0 outlines its commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 22.7 percent by 2030, expanding renewable energy capacity, and strengthening transparency frameworks for climate data and reporting.
Held in Belém, situated within the Amazon River Basin, the high-level discussions are focused on strengthening national commitments to address climate change, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, enhancing the ambition of NDCs, fostering multilateral cooperation, and improving climate finance mechanisms to support developing countries.
