[[Mongolia Energy Situation|Mongolia]] is characterised by extreme climatic conditions with short summers and long, cold winters, which make Ulaanbaatar the coldest capital in the world. As of 2020, the city is home to 411,000 households, 221,000 of whom live in informal settlements called “ger districts”.  
 
  
−
The ger districts are mostly off-grid areas with limited access to electricity, water, sanitation, heat supply, and public transport. In their brick-and-mortar houses and gers with high energy loss, households burn coal in stoves and use latrines in temperatures regularly dropping below minus 20°C. This makes the city a pollution hub, and exposes it to a public health crisis.

Hence, energy efficiency in the building sector is a crucial topic with extensive dimensions. Without good insulation, winter times mean cold buildings and devastating air pollution. A problem that is most hazardous for children and elderly people, but harms everyone. For example, miscarriages are 3.6 times more likely to happen during coal burning months, and one in 10 deaths is attributable to air pollution, 80% of which is caused in the ger districts. Low room temperatures in public and private buildings are an additional acute health hazard during the winter season. At the same time, Mongolia has joined the Paris Climate Agreement and pledged to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions. If widely applied, the measures to improve energy efficiency in the building sector can also significantly reduce Mongolia's CO<sub>2</sub> emissions - currently ranked 8th in the world on a per capita basis - and thus fulfil the Paris Climate Agreement.

Against this backdrop, a project was developed in close cooperation with the Municipality of Ulaanbaatar (MUB), and the Ministry of Energy (MoE). The project was financed by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) & the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ).

As this cooperation was established on existing activities, two projects were merged: The SDC-funded ”Public Investment in Energy Efficiency Phase 2“ (PIE-2), and the German Government funded “Energy Efficiency Building Refurbishment in Mongolia“ (EEP). The two projects joined forces, and worked together along with the MUB on four main topics on different implementation levels:

The LEEAP describes actions to reach energy efficiency targets and thus, improve air quality. It also includes monitoring and energy management. Trough establishing a common understanding of the starting point with an initial quantification of the scale of the problem, LEEAPs are the first step in the right direction for a safer, healthier, and greener city.

Improving the energy efficiency of (public) buildings also requires legal groundwork. Therefore, it is important to improve the management of public investments, and to introduce new standards to improve energy efficiency through better planning, budgeting, financing, implementation and monitoring of project activities. The focus of the governance advisory work was therefore on enriching the core system with institutional quality and principles of good governance. Read more about this and on why energy efficiency is a particularly gender-sensitive topic in the [[Governance in the Municipality of Ulaanbaatar|Governance chapter]].

Now, at the end of the current energy efficiency project (EEP), it is time to look at the achievements and lessons learned and share them with the global energy community with the hope that others can learn and benefit from our experiences in Mongolia. For this purpose, a magazine was created, which is attached below. Please feel free to download and share it!

This portal summarises the main contents and seeks to document the results and outcomes of the work implemented between 2018 and 2022 by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH. It not only demonstrates the results, but also presents ideas and tools on how to further develop this topic.
