Mongolia intensifies measures to combat desertification and dust storms
Mongolia faces heightened risk of dust storms and continuing desertification due to climate change and land degradation.
Government and environmental agencies report that desertified land in Mongolia has increased from 72.0% in 2006 to 76.9% in 2020, driven by climate change, overgrazing, and other human activities. The authorities are implementing large‑scale forestation and water‑management projects to slow desertification and mitigate frequent dust storms that threaten human health and ecosystem stability.
