    CLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTS IN MONGOLIA

    Depending on the specific geographical and climatic conditions, Mongolia might be more heavily influenced by the global climate change. The

    impacts of climate change on the ecological system and the natural resources would be dramatic affecting directly almost all sectors of the

    national economy and all spheres of social life, i.e. it touches the all aspects of life supporting system. Therefore, climate change response

    measures would help to address the inevitable need to adapt to climate change and to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions in order to meet therequirements of the sustainable development strategies of Mongolia. According to the records from 48 meteorological stations which are

    distributed evenly over the territory of Mongolia, the annual mean temperature of Mongolia increased by during the last 70 years. In late2.140

    2010, 77.8% of Mongolian landhas affected by large and small sized desertification, especially Du ndgovi and Dornogovi aimags are the most affected areas.

    About 20-34% of Mongolian population are affectedby food shortages due to a loss of food security.

    The worlds population is now odds-on to swell ever-higher for the rest of the

    century, posing grave challenges for food supplies, healthcare and social

    cohesion. A ground-breaking analysis released on Thursday shows there is

    a 70% chance that the number of people on the planet will rise continuously

    from 7bn today to . The work overturns 20 years of consensus11bn in 2100

    that global population, and the stresses it brings, will peak by at about2050

    9bn people. The previous projections said this problem was going to go

    away so it took the focus off the population issue, said Prof Adrian Raftery, at

    the University of Washington, who led the international research team. There

    is now a strong argument that population should return to the top of the

    international agenda. Population is the driver of just about everything else

    and rapid population growth can exacerbate all kinds of challenges.

    BRIEF INTRODUCTION

    In 2050 about 9.3 billion people will share our planet. Already today the world is facing intertwined challenges of food, water and energy

    security, coupled with climate change, desertification and shrinking forests. None of these challenges are without solutions. At the s ame time it

    is ever clearer that we cannot afford to pursue responses to one challenge that come at the expense of another. The greatest challenges of our

    time are closely interlinked and the same must be true for their answers. To borrow the words of Albert Einstein: We cant solve problems by

    using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.

    MISSION: To set up a well-known Green Development Sample Region

    in the world as a landscape artistic creation.

    PROJECT RESULTS/SIGNIFICANCE WILL BE:

    Reducing desertification in Mongolia and global warming issues in the world

    Regional development and balanced migration Creating Green Horse international trade mark, contribution for GDP through export

    Attracting foreign and local investment and economic growth

    Creating employment opportunities

    Organic food industry

    Mining rehabilitation

    GREEN

    DEVELOPMENT

    MODEL

    The program will start from front of Bogd Khan Mountain, Sergelen soum, Tuv aimag.

    Total area: /5 aimags, 47soums, 50000 households, 340,000 square km/

    The gobi desert region is 70% in the chosen area and 40-45% is planned for Green Horse Landscape Art Project which is going to be the

    biggest landscape artistic creature in the world, seeable from the space in Central Asia.

    Green Horse is a Program which is based on 'Green Development Model'. The main objective of the program is to set up an Eco Economic

    Region which is going to solve socio-economic and environmental issues in the south that its high land degradation, drought and

    desertification have been widening year by year and we chose 4 provinces/aimags, 52 soums. The Sahara Forest Project proposes to establish

    groups of interconnected economic activities in different low lying desert areas around the world. Successful implementation of the project isgreen horse landscape art project in Central Asia can be seen from space and the world's largest landscape art is characterized as a work of art.

    FARMING

    Center pivot irrigation in Saudi Arabia is typical of many isolated irrigation projects scatteredthroughout the arid and hyper-arid regions of the Earth. Nonrenewable Fossil water is mined fromdepths as great as 1 km (3,000 ft), pumped to the surface, and distributed via large centre pivotirrigation feeds. The circles of green irrigated vegetation may comprise a variety of agricultural

    commodities from alfalfa to wheat. Diameters of the normally circular fields range from a fewhundred metres to as much as 3 km (1.9 mi). The projects often trace out a narrow, sinuous, andseemingly random path. Actually, engineers generally seek ancient river channels now buried bythe sand seas. The fossil waters mined in these projects accumulated during periods of wetterclimate in the Pleistocene glacial epochs, between 10,000 to 2 million years ago, and are not beingreplenished under current climatic conditions.

    IRRIGATED CROP CIRCLES in SAUDI ARABIA

    A Sahara Forest Project facility will be successful only when it is well integrated with thelocal communities. In addition to mitigating effects of climate change and contributingto conflict reduction in resource-scarce areas, the SFP facilities will provideemployment for both high- and low-skilled workers. Programs and facilities for

    knowledge transfer and training will be established to ensure that long-term social andeconomic development opportunities are created.

    The Sahara Forest Project is not too good to be true. It is an integrated system designedto harvest technological synergies while minimizing waste. The design is founded onthe premise that we must find a more holistic approach to successfully tacklechallenges related to energy, food, and water security.

    THE ECONOMIC BENEFITS OF THE GREEN HORSE PROJECT

    Economic growth and investmentInvestments in Green Horse are thought to improve a region's image, helping to attract and retain high value industries, new business start-ups, entrepreneurs and workers.This in turn increases the scope for levering in private sector investment, reducing unemployment and increasing GVA.

    Land and property values, aestheticsDeveloping and improving Green Horse in key locations within urban and semi-urban areas is argued to have significant benefits which are reflected in increasing property

    and land values. Investment in Green Horse can lead to a rise in demand for homes a nd higher returns for the property sector. Greener areas have a better image and attr act morevisitors, bringing with them retail and l eisure spending and providing job and rental opportunities. This in turn increases la nd and property values.

    Regional and local economic regenerationRegional and local economic regeneration is an important government activity. Economic regeneration means increasing employment, encouraging business growth andinvestment, and tackling economic disadvantage.

    Labor market employment and productivityMore and better quality Green Horse is considered to provide opportunities to develop a more productive workforce for employers through improved health, reducing stress,sickness and absenteeism. It helps to attra ct and retain motivated people.

    Products from the LandInvestments in Green Horse can increase the amount of productive land and/or productivity, and this may increase FTE jobs and GVA in the locality. For example, jobs may becreated in forest planting, harvesting, restocking, haulage and wood processing, with net impacts on GVA generated in the local economy.

    BiodiversityInvestments in Green Horse are thought to improve and protect habitats, thereby encouraging and maintaining biodiversity. Biodiversity is a non-market benefit and mainly anon-use value. It comes from the value to individuals of knowing that the resource exists (existence value), or is available for others to use now (altruist ic value) or in the future(bequest value). Therefore, the way to value biodiversity benefits is t o use stated preferences techniques to elicit individuals' willingness to pay (WTP).

    Climate change adaptation and mitigationTrees absorb carbon and provide natural air-conditioning for urban areas, reducing the need for heating and cooling. Several kinds of climate change mitigation and adaptationbenefits may arise by increasing Green Horse. Firstly, there is carbon sequestration in trees, other vegetative matter and soil s. Second, there are energy saving costs due tolower heating and cooling requirements associated with the benefits of s hade which, in turn, may lower energy usage and reduce carbon emissions thereby adding an extrabenefit.

    Clean energyClean energy affects the demand for and supply of conventional energy and can result in positive effects on the energy system, the environment, and the economy.Water ManagementInvestment in green infrastructure can result in an increase in urban Green Horse, with canopy cover and 'soft surfacing' contributing to Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems(SUDS), acting to reduce and control run-off, improve absorption rates and provide storage capacity. It can result in less frequent and less dramatic flood events for urbanareas, thereby reducing costs to business and residents.

    Future trends...

    GREEN GREAT WALLin China is the world's largest ecological engineering project. The country is bu ilding

    a belt of trees that will stretch some 2,800 miles across north and n orthwest China in an attempt to stop the

    advance of the Gobi desert of Mongolia. The Gobi desert also has been impacting Korea and Japan for their

    agriculture and livestock farming. Therefore, China started this project since 1978 and country has planted2

    trees in 500.000km area which is 12%-18% of the total work.
