Biodiversity and our ecosystems are interconnected with climate change. On one hand they are affected by both gradual and sudden climatic and weather changes, and on the other serve as important buffers from extreme events such as wildfires, flooding and droughts. The CTCN provides technical assistance to countries’ on a range of technologies and tools with a view to protect important ecosystem services that are essential to human health and livelihoods. In this sector you can learn more about how the CTCN uses approaches such as ecosystem-based adaptation, management of forests and ecosystem services and monitoring ecosystem resilience of communities. Below you will find related publications, partners, CTCN technical assistance, technologies and other information for exploring this topic further.

Context
Mongolia is in the arid and semi-arid region; therefore, the amount of precipitation generally is low. The larger part of precipitation falls in the warm season and only below 3% of winter precipitation falls as snow. The spatial distribution of precipitation in Mongolia is very specific due to a vast area, land composition, roughness and geographical peculiarity.
