Ulaanbaatar, October 25, 2024 /MONTSAME/. Deputy Governor of the Capital City of Mongolia in charge of the Social Sector, Green Development, and Air and Environmental Pollution Amartuvshin Amgalanbayar met with the United Nations Development Program Resident Representative Matilda Domovska on October 24, 2024.
At the meeting, Deputy Governor Amartuvshin Amgalanbayar noted that the Memorandum of Understanding between Ulaanbaatar City and the United Nations Development Program was signed in 2016 and expressed his intention to further expand cooperation within the “Supporting Renewable Energy Transition in Ger Districts for Increased Livelihood Benefits” Project jointly organized by Ulaanbaatar City and the UNDP.
Due to the adverse impact of air pollution on human health, Mongolia faces the need to transition to new renewable energy models. Through the two-phase implementation of the Project, 50 households will be provided support in purchasing and installing electric heaters and solar panels for heating purposes, which will facilitate healthy living conditions for vulnerable households, free from indoor air pollutants.
The Project “Supporting Renewable Energy Transition in Ger Districts for Increased Livelihood Benefits” will contribute significantly to the development of Ulaanbaatar City. UNDP Resident Representative Matilda Dimovska expressed her willingness to provide all-round support in strengthening bilateral cooperation to ensure the successful implementation of this Project.
