ULAN BATOR, Nov. 13 (Xinhua) -- Mongolian President Ukhnaa Khurelsukh has proposed global efforts to promote sustainable rangelands, the presidential press office said on Wednesday.

Khurelsukh made the proposal at the ongoing 29th session of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP29) in Baku, Azerbaijan.

"At a time when climate change is accelerating due to both natural forces and human activities, negatively impacting sustainable development, livelihoods, and human well-being worldwide, it is crucial that we strengthen our political leadership, collective efforts, and actions," Khurelsukh said.

Mongolia made the proposal to address the adverse effects of climate change on countries that rely on traditional pastoralism, Khurelsukh said.

Mongolia has fully supported collective efforts of the international community to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and enhance carbon sinks, and reaffirmed its commitment to fulfill its obligations under the Paris Agreement, he added. Enditem
