Green Development Policy

The purpose of the Green Development Policy is to ensure that Mongolia evolves as a developed nation that has built conditions for environmental sustainability. This policy helps future generations who will gain benefits in the long-run through participatory and inclusive economic growth based on the green development concept. The Green Development Policy is split into two phases. The first phase (2014 – 2020) lays the foundation for green development and establishes green development models and norms in all economic and social sectors that are based on country circumstances. It also creates a legal framework to ensure green development progress and infrastructure and redevelopment efforts that are aimed at enhancing long-term sustainable development of the economy. The second phase (2021 – 2030) will see the transformation to green development where environmental sustainability persists, benefits from ecosystem services are accepted rationally, and adaptations to climate change are customized.
