Who We Are
The Breathe Mongolia - Clean Air Coalition is an international team of professionals and everyday citizens, working to end Mongolia’s air pollution crisis.
Our Story
Young Mongols decided to organize a protest in New York City, raising awareness about the deadly air pollution in Mongolia under #BreatheMongolia hashtag. The protest inspired other concerned Mongols and global citizens across the world and our founders met and created Breathe Mongolia - Clean Air Coalition nonprofit. Now, Breathe Mongolia platform serves as a central collaboration, watchdog and knowledge center hub for the fight against air pollution in Mongolia, run by volunteers in 10 countries from diverse professions such as atmospheric chemist, software engineer, urban planner, medical doctor and policy analyst. We are determined to bring all the stakeholders together and equip them with tools to eliminate the source of pollution in our homeland.

For kids especially, who grow up every year with the pollution, you just know it’s going to lead to health effects down the line, and it’s very sad.

When it starts geting cold in October, my brother always gets sick; some kind of respiratory sickness. It’s very difficult to see him sick every single winter.
