The report describes key adaptation technologies in priority sectors for Mongolia that include crop production systems, seasonal prediction, livestock and sustainable pasture management. The report accesses the barriers and measures as well as provides project ideas for the technologies, including concrete actions for realization of the technology action plans for each selected technologies.

This report describes key mitigation technologies in priority sectors for Mongolia, such as large-scale hydro-power plants; wind parks and supercritical coal-fired power plants; energy efficient lighting; and improvement of insulation of panel apartment buildings. The report accesses the barriers and measures as well as provides project ideas for the technologies, including concrete actions for realisation of the technology action plans for each selected technology.

In 2011, UNICEF commissioned field research in Indonesia, Kiribati, Mongolia, Philippines and Vanuatu to determine if there were noticeable patterns and trends of climate change and disaster impacts on children. This regional report summarises the key findings from the studies and brings together published evidence, along with the perspectives of children, on the potential impact of climate change on children over the course of this century.

Mongolia’s reindeer herders and their taiga homeland are today facing unprecedented challenges from unregulated mining, forest logging, loss of access to natural resources, tourism, and climate change.

The Dukha herders and their ancestors have lived for centuries in this fragile transition region on the edge of the steppes, practising an ancient and unique form of reindeer husbandry and helping to conserve the region’s unique biodiversity. Yet this system of reindeer husbandry, with its close relationship between man and reindeer, is under threat.

This  report  summarizes  key messages from  the  two-day conference “The politics of climate  change  adaptation:  Taking  stock  of  academic  and  practitioner experiences” organized  by  the  Department  of  International  Environment and Development  Studies (Noragric) at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU).

This policy brief by the Asian Development Bank argues that, given the negative impact of climate change on Mongolia, it is crucial to select mitigation actions that reduce vulnerability to climate change, support the achievement of national development goals, and are feasible given local constraints.

Key messages from the brief include:

• Mongolia’s total emissions are low, but its emissions per capita are relatively high and rising and are produced primarily by the energy and agriculture sectors.

This report discusses the climate change adaptation needs of the Asia-Pacific region; it was undertaken in order to inform USAID’s Regional Development Mission for Asia (RDMA). The report’s analysis is based on stakeholder consultations and literature reviews. It focuses on 19 countries: Cambodia, China, Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Laos, Maldives, the Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Mongolia, Nepal, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, Thailand, Timor Leste, Solomon Islands, Sri Lanka, Vanuatu and Vietnam. The report begins by outlining vulnerability and adaptation priorities in the region.
