Pathways for Mongolia’s Just Energy Transition www.jointsdgfund.org

UNDP Mongolia hosted a roundtable discussion under the theme “Just Energy Transition in Mongolia: Progress and Way Forward” to share key lessons from its renewable energy pilot projects and explore strategies to scale up clean energy solutions. The event, held in observance of the International Day of Clean Energy (26 January), also highlighted the importance of expanding decentralized renewable energy systems by improving accessibility and cost efficiency, as well as addressing the critical need for policy support to foster investment in scaling up the solutions.
In 2024, 69 households in Ulaanbaatar and Erdenet adopted solar PV-powered heating systems, providing a sustainable alternative to coal. This initiative improved air quality, supported vulnerable families, and served as a model for creating cleaner, healthier communities. The project was implemented in collaboration with the Government of France, Ulaanbaatar City, the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change, URECA LLC, and Ger Hub NGO.
Globally, renewable energy is gaining unprecedented momentum. In 2023, renewable sources accounted for 30% of global electricity generation. Global energy investment is expected to exceed USD 3 trillion in 2024, with USD 2 trillion going to clean energy technologies and infrastructure. During COP28, world leaders committed to tripling installed renewable energy capacity by 2030, signalling the urgency of an accelerated energy transition.
Mongolia is also working to align with this global momentum. It aims to increase renewable energy capacity to 30% of its total installed capacity by 2030. As of 2023, renewable energy accounts for 18.3% of Mongolia’s installed capacity and 9.1% of its electricity production.
UNDP is providing strategic support to Mongolia in advancing just energy transition. Through its 2024 National Human Development Paper, 'A Just Energy Transition for Human Development in Mongolia,' UNDP highlights the challenges posed by Mongolia's coal-dependent economy and advocates for a people-centered transition that meets the needs of current and future generations. UNDP is also leading a UN Joint Programme, funded by the Joint SDG Fund and implemented in collaboration with the Ministry of Energy, to accelerate a green and inclusive energy shift.
“Addressing air pollution requires innovative and scalable solutions. Renewable energy systems pave the way for cleaner air, energy security, and improved quality of life,” said Mr. Byambajav Z., Deputy Governor of Chingeltei District. “Together with UNDP, we aim to expand renewable energy solutions to more households in our district.”
UNDP Deputy Resident Representative in Mongolia Ms. Lin Cao stated, “A just energy transition presents Mongolia with a transformative opportunity to reduce pollution, drive green economic growth, strengthen communities, and promote social equity. By fostering a supportive environment for renewable energy, it can also attract significant investment and accelerate sustainable development.”
Note:
All joint programmes of the Joint SDG Fund are led by UN Resident Coordinators and implemented by the agencies, funds and programmes of the United Nations development system. With sincere appreciation for the contributions from the European Union and Governments of Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Monaco, The Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Republic of Korea, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and our private sector funding partners, for a transformative movement towards achieving the SDGs by 2030.

Japan's emperor and empress will likely visit Mongolia in July www.montsame.mn

Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako will likely visit Mongolia in July, the first trip to the country by a reigning imperial couple, people familiar with the matter said Thursday.
This will be the couple's third overseas goodwill trip since the emperor's accession to the throne in 2019 following their visits to Indonesia in 2023 and Britain in 2024.
The emperor and empress are expected to attend a ceremony during Mongolia's annual Naadam festival at the invitation of the Mongolian side, the people said.
The couple are also expected to visit a monument erected to remember Japanese nationals who died in Mongolia after being detained by the former Soviet Union during World War II. This year marks the 80th anniversary of Japan's surrender in the war.
Emperor Naruhito visited the monument during his trip in 2007 when he was the crown prince.
After the end of the war, some 14,000 Japanese people were taken to Mongolia by the former Soviet Union for forced labor. The Japanese government built the monument near Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia, to remember the about 1,700 Japanese detainees who died there.

Schools and Kindergartens Built and Renovated Through ADB Funded Project www.montsame.mn

The Ministry of Education of Mongolia completed all 21 construction projects planned under the first component of the “Improving the Quality and Accessibility of Education During an Economic Downturn” Project, which has been implemented since 2019 with concessional loans from the Asian Development Bank.
With funding from this project, two new schools and two new kindergartens were built, while five schools and 12 kindergartens were expanded. This resulted in an additional 3,400 school seats and 2,325 kindergarten beds. Consequently, around 10,000 children in Ulaanbaatar City, Darkhan-Uul, Govisumber, and Govi-Altai aimag centers now have accessible, healthy, and safe learning environments that meet standards. In addition, 478 new jobs were created.
Two schools and seven kindergartens were constructed in the Bayanzurkh and Songinokhairkhan districts in Ulaanbaatar, which have high population densities and a high number of migrants from rural areas. Furthermore, the project furnished all newly built and expanded schools and kindergartens with necessary furniture, computers, equipment, kitchen appliances, soft furnishings, and other teaching materials, thereby creating a supportive environment for children’s learning and development.
On March 3, 2024, the Government of Mongolia and the Asian Development Bank finalized an agreement for additional financing of this project. As a result, the Ministry of Education is planning to build three more schools and six kindergartens in the capital and rural areas, increasing capacity by an additional 960 school seats and 940 kindergarten beds.

Mongolia's capital to stockpile 10,000 tons of meat for spring consumption www.xinhuanet.com

The Mongolian government has decided to stockpile at least 10,000 tons of livestock meat to ensure a steady supply for residents of the national capital during the spring season of 2025.
Relevant officials have been assigned to oversee the supply, distribution, sales, quality and safety of the reserved meat, according to a statement from the government's press office on Wednesday.
During the harsh spring season, as nomadic livestock become lean and herders have fewer animals to sell, meat prices rise in urban areas, leading to potential shortages.
Ulan Bator is home to about half of Mongolia's 3.5-million population, and livestock meat is the primary food consumed by Mongolians.
As one of the world's last remaining nomadic nations, Mongolia had 57.6 million livestock at the end of 2024, according to the National Statistics Office.

Mongolia to resume spring horse racing www.xinhuanet.com

The Mongolian government has decided to resume spring horse racing, granting provincial and local authorities full autonomy over organizing the traditional sport.
"The government has decided to transfer all rights to organize sports and cultural activities to provincial and local authorities," Deputy Prime Minister Sainbuyan Amarsaikhan said at a press conference following Wednesday's regular cabinet meeting.
Under the new regulation, provincial and local administrations will be able to arrange spring horse races starting March 1 independently.
To enhance safety, child jockeys must be at least 12 years old and wear protective helmets and clothing.
In 2018, the government banned horse racing from Nov. 1 to May 1 due to concerns over child jockeys' health and safety, as well as the heightened risks associated with racing in harsh winter and spring conditions.
