EPR Mongolia Key Environmental Challenges of Mongolia •Climate change effect is relatively high •Environmental health/pollution – air, soil and water •Irrational use of natural resources – scarcity of resources •Environmental degradation – land degradation/desertification •Lapse in technological development •Lack of institutional capacity

EPR Mongolia
Climate Change • The annual temp. has
increased by 2.2C for last 70 years
• Frequency of extreme weather phenomena has doubled in the last two decades
• 70% of pastoral land has degraded
Challenges addressed in the EPR • Chapter 7, 14 • Rec. 7.3; 7.4, 14.1-14.4

EPR Mongolia Air pollution
Challenges addressed in the EPR: Chapter 1, 2, 3, 8, 14 Rec. 3.5, 8.1, 8.5, 8.6, 15.6
Air Quality Data of Ulaanbaatar city 1st decade January 2017 PM2.5 - 200 µg/m3 (4 times the AQS); PM10 - 606 µg/m3 (6 times the AQS) SO2 - 235 µg/m3 (4.7 times the AQS) Respiratory diseases In 2005 - 697 registered incidences per 10 000 2014 - 1730 incidents 2.4 times higher Cardiovascular In 2005 – 494 incidents In 2014 doubled to 980

EPR Mongolia Water, Soil pollution • Pollution sources: Outdated
technology, workloads exceeding installed capacity WWTPs, non-insulated sanitation facilities, waste disposal
• Over half of all 130 water treatment facilities are malfunctioning,
• Over 120 million m3 of untreated water being discharged into the environment
• 80% of sanitation facilities for over 190 000 Ulaanbaatar city households are below standard
Challenges addressed in the EPR: Chapter 1, 2, 3, 7, 9, 10, 12, 15 Rec 10.1-10.5, 12.1,15.4,

EPR Mongolia
Depletion of natural resources • Mongolia is as country with very
scarce water reserves. About 65.4% of water resources are formed on 30% of territory.
• In 2016, out of 19,219 water bodies, 1383 were dried out.
• The closed forest area has decreased by 272,900 ha between 2011 and 2016 /affected by forest fire, pests, logged/
• Biodiversity loss: the last 3 decades has experienced rapid declines of numerous species, such as Bactarian camel, Snow leopard, Argal sheep, Gobi bear.
Challenges addressed in the EPR: Chapter 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 11, 12, 13 Rec 2.4, 3.2, 3.4, 4.4, 9.1-9.4, 11.1-11.6, 12.2, 13.1-13.6

EPR Mongolia
Environmental degradation • Main factors for land
degradation: mining, overgrazing, pollution as well as natural factors such as CC, desertification
• 76.8% of the total territory was degraded
• More than 60% of total territory is affected by wind erosion
• Soil fertility decreases and soil chemical properties change as a result of overgrazing and pasture degradation
• An estimated 100,000 ha of land have been degraded by coal and gold mining activities.
Challenges addressed in the EPR: Chapter 1, 4, 7, 11, 12, 13 Rec 12.1-12.5

EPR Mongolia Priority areas where support from the international
community is needed • Environmentally friendly technology transfer • Shift to renewable energy: wind, solar, hydropower,
geothermal • Institutional capacity building • Comprehensive environmental information center
and data system • Bring global knowledge and expertise
