AGP Executive Report
Last update: 11 hours agoUNCCD COP17 in Ulaanbaatar: The UN desertification talks closed without a global drought-preparedness deal, pushing the hardest decisions to COP18 in 2028, even as parties agreed on major rangeland-focused financing—about $1.2 billion for a Rangelands Priority Initiative and $1.3 billion overall for land restoration and resilience. Civil society pushback: Indigenous peoples, women, youth and pastoralists said a single party’s objections sidelined core agenda items like gender and civil society participation, urging Mongolia’s COP presidency to keep decision-making inclusive. Mongolia in the spotlight: Coverage highlighted Mongolia’s role as host and “ecological diplomacy” hub, with the conference framing rangelands as central to livelihoods for hundreds of millions of herders. Regional diplomacy: Russia’s Putin is set to attend the SCO summit in Bishkek and then speak at the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok, with Mongolian Prime Minister Nyam-Osoryn Uchral among planned EEF participants.
