“Most mountain glaciers in the world are melting faster, due to the impacts of climate change, which negatively affects various areas of human life,” Khurelsukh said, at the opening ceremony of the second national “Blue Gold” forum held here, under the theme “Let’s Protect Our Glaciers and Ice Formations” on the occasion of World Water Day 2025.
