Why Green Development in Mongolia?????
There are noted 5 main factors of negative effect to Mongolian human
development, imposed by the planet ecosystem change:

Decrease of crop production, particularly in Mongolia agricultural and
livestock productivity will be reduced;

Loss of water safety and fresh water resource deficiency in the Mongolia;

Increased vulnerability and risk climatic extreme events (drought, dzud,
flood) and increased rates of damages to human fatality and property loss
was observed in the last years ;

Ecosystem degradation, green biomass depletion, forestland area
reduction, plant outgrowth shortening;

Human health risk and sickness rate have been increased in the country
due to the adverse health impacts of climate change;
Towards to Green Development
On February 8th and 9th of 2010, the Inaugural
Mongolia Economic Forum of 2010 was held in
