Mongolia is in centre of global attention
It is summer in South Korea. Blooming trees and colourful flowers decorate the city of Seoul. Few raindrops fall from the grey sky.
Korea is a country covered in green, surrounded by the endless ocean. Its mountains are filled with trees and the country rushes to development in full speed. The country’s government is striving to make the green country even more green. In the recent years, they have been exchanging their experiences in green economic development with the rest of the world. They call the globe to follow their green development steps.
“Global Green Growth Summit - 2012” was organised these days in Seoul. Korean government in collaboration with “Global Green Growth” Institute, the UN and economic cooperation organisations have organised the summit, where attendants from around the world are participating. Participants include authorities from different countries, environment and energy specialists and experts from IT companies.
One of the forum’s topics was green journalism. Attended journalists have debated about global journalism tendency, issues on reporting economic development. Also debates on how to inform and represent related issues to the public. Journalists play a major role in creating new development. However, journalists have to have the right understandings and concept about what green economy and green growth mean. The press has to avoid mixing things up when it reports about green solutions. Associated experts advise to put it in simple and comprehensive words. In the parallel session “Green Growth and the Role of Journalism” journalists from BBC, New York Times exchanged their point of views. “Mongolian Economy” journalists have also attended the meeting.
If a country strives to develop green economy, it can be seen from its participation in various green activities like this summit. Mining, which is repugnant to nature, is booming in Mongolia right now. Well then, how many representatives from Mongolia have attended this event? Only two reporters.

Attendants discussed about developing green solutions to combat the climate changes. Also debates on developing renewable energy, saving water and making governments’ policy greener and exchanging experiences in these matters. The most discussed subject is the development of environmentally friendly industry that goes parallel with high technology. All attendants agreed that green economic development demands organisations to cooperate instead of competing. And Mongolia was one of the important summit topics. Mongolia is a renewable energy rich country. Using its capacity would allow Asia to benefit from renewable energy. However, it requires great amount of assets and high technology. Thus, participants at the summit agreed that it is possible to create Asian energy network and cooperate to solve issues. In this scope, Softbank in Japan, Kepco in Korea and Mongolian Newcom Group have collaborated on initiating a project to establishment Asian energy super network. The CEO of Softbank Japan, Masayoshi Son said “Japan is seeking to regenerate renewable energy at its further development. To do so, we need to establish the right legal and other required environments”. In his speech “Asian energy super network”, he mentioned the tremendous solar and wind capacity of Mongolia, which many attendants found interesting.
