ULAANBAATAR, Mongolia -– Global mining company Rio Tinto and UNESCO have today
agreed to establish a comprehensive long-term partnership that is specifically
designed to foster sustainable development initiatives in Mongolia.
During the signing ceremony held in Ulaanbaatar, the parties announced their
first joint project, focused on promoting sustainable tourism through cultural
and geo-heritage initiatives in Mongolia – home to several UNESCO world heritage
sites and Rio Tinto’s Oyu Tolgoi copper project. By leveraging the combined
expertise and resources of both organisations, this collaboration also aims to
facilitate the establishment of Mongolia’s first geopark at supporting
geological science.
Prof. Shahbaz Khan, Director of UNESCO Multisectoral Regional Office for East
Asia said “This collaboration signifies a commitment to the shared values of
sustainable development and reflects a collective dedication to fostering
responsible practices in the mining industry, ensuring that economic growth goes
hand in hand with the protection of humanity’s most exceptional heritage and
treasures on our planet.
“By joining forces, UNESCO, Rio Tinto Mongolia and the Government of Mongolia
will intensify Mongolia’s involvement in the International Geosciences and
Geoparks Programme to promote the study of geosciences and geological processes
in order to establish new geoparks as well as to set new standards for ethical
and environmentally conscious resource extraction.
“The project activities outlined in these agreements underscore UNESCO and Rio
Tinto Mongolia's determination to preserve Mongolia's rich cultural heritage and
diverse ecosystems. Through initiatives that promote education, community
engagement, and technological advancements, we aspire to create a blueprint for
responsible resource development that can be replicated globally”.
Amarjargal Khenchbish, Country Director of Rio Tinto in Mongolia said “Rio Tinto
is honored to collaborate with UNESCO in this partnership. By uniting our
respective strengths and resources, we are determined to make a meaningful and
lasting impact on Mongolia's sustainable development. At Rio Tinto, in providing
the materials the world needs, we work in remote and sensitive environments like
the Gobi Desert. We recognize our responsibility as stewards of natural
resources and are committed to preserving the natural environment for future
generations and promoting Mongolia’s unique heritage on the world stage.”
Within this partnership, Rio Tinto and UNESCO will collaborate on three key
areas:
* Sustainable Tourism: Promoting Mongolia’s sustainable practices both
domestically and internationally and raising awareness about the importance
of preserving and celebrating cultural and natural heritage.
* Environment and Climate Change: By harnessing their combined expertise, the
partners will support better environmental and climate change management
practices across Mongolia.
* Quality Education: Rio Tinto and UNESCO will work towards ensuring
high-quality, equitable, and inclusive Technical and Vocational Education and
Training (TVET) programs, building on Rio Tinto’s previous investments in the
sector. By providing a new generation of Mongolians with specialized
technical skills and knowledge, the partners aim to drive sustainable growth
and socio-economic progress across the country.
