Entitled ‘Green Economy & Trade Opportunity’, a forum was held in Ulaanbaatar on 19th of September. During the event, the UN Environmental Programme’s ‘Partnership for Action on the Green Economy’, better known as ‘PAGE’, announced that they will support a total of 6000 Mongolian green agricultural enterprises. Mongolia is attempting to develop green economy in energy, tourism and agriculture, but it is proving expensive.

The UN Environment Programme (UNEP) announced that Mongolia has become a member of PAGE to assist in the global transition to a green economy in 2013.

Mongolia is currently developing several policies that will place the country on a green development path, including measures on sustainable mining, renewable energy and ecotourism. As part of its PAGE activities, UNEP has announced that it plans to engage Mongolia on other issues, including climate change.
