events on the international scene. As well as reducing existing risks, it is
equally important to prevent the creation of new risks. In 2016, Ulaanbaatar
joined the world’s leading global collaboration to strengthen urban resilience
- Making Cities Resilient 2030 (MCR2030) of the UNDRR to share experiences with
other cities and create safer city. We aim to organize and take disaster risk
reduction measures, leveraging cross-sectoral collaboration, public-private
partnership, and public participation. I would like to express my sincere
gratitude to the UNDRR for their cooperation and technical support on this
matter.”
Mongolia has joined several UN
initiatives and documents, namely “The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable
Development,” “Millennium Development Goals,” “Paris Agreement” and “The Sendai
Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction”.
