This Mongolia’s Transition to a Green Economy: A Stocktaking Report, produced by the Ministry of Environment and Green Development of Mongolia with the support of the Partnership for Action on Green Economy (PAGE), analyses Mongolia's progress towards a green economy, taking stock of relevant policies and initiatives, and identifies the major actors who will drive a green economy transition. The report identifies opportunities for the international community to assist Mongolia to transform its economy. Findings from this research suggest that the key priority sectors for the PAGE project and the development of a green economy in Mongolia should be: agriculture, mining and renewable energy. Although other sectors, such as transport, waste treatment and tourism will be important for Mongolia’s development, agriculture and mining are the country’s largest economic sectors, while renewable energy has considerable potential for its future.
