The ‘Improving Adaptive Capacity and Risk Management of Rural Communities in Mongolia’ project has been launched. With a grant of USD 23.1 million by the Green Climate Fund (GCF), the project will be jointly implemented by the Ministry of Environment and Tourism, Ministry of Food, Agriculture, and Light Industry, and the United Nations Development Program in four provinces including Dornod, Sukhbaatar, Zavkhan, and Khovd. Due to climate change, aridity has increasingly become a problem alongside various other consequences such as deteriorating ecosystems, increasing frequency of natural disasters, and negative impact on herders’ livelihoods. A study has also found that the number of livestock in Mongolia has grown threefold, exceeding the carrying capacity of pastures in the last 30 years.
