Mongolia is a developing country with a small population and vast territory where traditional nomadic livelihoods coexist with modern urban lifestyles. In recent years, climatechange related challenges have become a major risk for the country’s development. Ecosystems within the country are fragile to climate changes and livelihoods of people are directly impacted by weather and the environment. This assessment has demonstrated that climate change will affect the well-being of people and the country’s socio and economic development.
Arable farming and animal husbandry sub sectors were identified as the sectors most vulnerable to climate change and their social, economic and environmental losses due to climate change impacts are expected to be higher than those of other sectors.
