In Mongolia, the average air-temperature increased by 2.2 degrees Centigrade over the last 70 years. Consequently, precipitation has decreased and become more irregular, and extreme weather events have increased in frequency and severity. Between 1990 and 2000, an average of about 30 disastrous phenomena occurred per year, but between 2001 and 2016, this number doubled. Climate change effects are very prevalent in Mongolia. At the same time, sectoral policies, governance jurisdictions and mandates, planning frameworks, and stewardship responsibilities are not sufficiently aligned for Mongolia’s pursuit of green development. Consequently, numerous environmental, social and economic challenges have arisen, including road congestion, pasture and forest degradation, desertification, land disputes and poverty.
