   • It is time for all of us to ponder and reflect with common sense on what progress could have been achieved in the development of human society if these huge budget and funds had been spent on tackling pressing issues such as combating global warming and climate change and improving education, health, food security, and advancement of women and children. According to the SDG Report 2026, Mongolia has achieved 68.8% of the SDGs, reflecting the tangible results of our efforts and the progress we have made in recent years. As a country experiencing the adverse impacts of climate change firsthand, Mongolia has remained steadfast in contributing to global collective efforts to protect and preserve our natural environment. In this regard, Mongolia is successfully implementing a series of national policies and initiatives, including the Billion Trees, Food Revolution, White Gold, Blue Gold, and Healthy Mongolian, aimed at restoring degraded land, expanding forest resources, protecting soil soil, water, and pastureland, ensuring food supply and security and supporting sustainable rural development. 6:49:27Copy

When funding runs out, what do we tell the mother who asks war for hours to reach a clinic with a sick child that the doors are closed? What do we tell to a family waiting for food that there will be no delivery tomorrow? We cannot ask humanitarian workers to give those answers because we have chosen to cut their funding. 11:46:51Copy
