About this project

Ulaanbaatar, the capital city of Mongolia is vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. Khoroos 15, 16, 18, 20 of Sukhbaatar District and Khoroos 26 and 4 of Songinokhairkhan District, targeted by this project, are especially vulnerable, considering not only their exposure to climate change hazards by also their underlying vulnerability, arising from the low-income nature of the areas, unplanned urban development, and partial informality. Adaptive capacity is also low, given that local government budgets are constrained and there is minimal capacity among the communities themselves to construct, manage or maintain small-scale adaptation infrastructure.

However, to sustain and replicate the project’s successes, it will also work closely with the local, municipal and national level governments.
