The 30th Conference of the Parties (COP30) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) convened in Belém, the Federative Republic of Brazil, from November 6 to 21, 2025.
The Governments of Mongolia and the Swiss Confederation signed a bilateral agreement on November 23 to strengthen cooperation within the framework of the Paris Agreement.  
The agreement was signed by Batbaatar Bat, Minister of Environment and Climate Change of Mongolia, and Albert Rösti, Minister of the Federal Department of the Environment, Transport, Energy, and Communications of Switzerland. During the ceremony, the two ministers exchanged views on enhancing bilateral collaboration in climate policy implementation and the sustainable development initiatives.
This accord builds on commitments made during the 60th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Mongolia and Switzerland, commemorated by the state visit of Swiss President Viola Amherst to Mongolia in August 2024. At that time, both sides pledged to intensify cooperation in addressing climate change. In the months that followed, the parties developed draft cooperation documents, engaged in technical consultations, and conducted negotiations that culminated in the formal signing in Belem.
This agreement marks a significant achievement in bilateral climate diplomacy, underscoring the shared commitment between Mongolia and Switzerland to advancing climate resilience, low-carbon development, and strengthening international collaboration within the framework of the Paris Agreement.
