Air pollution! Yes, We Are Discussing Air Pollution

from The Great State Mural - Mongolia Portrayed · host Hosts: Dolgion Aldar, Julian Dierkes, and Anand Tumurtogoo

Winter has come, and air pollution has started to plague Mongolia again. For more than two decades, residents of Ulaanbaatar have endured and protested against the city’s air pollution. Despite repeated government promises of cleaner air, little has changed. Each winter feels like Groundhog Day — citizens demand action, policymakers pledge solutions, and yet, year after year, Mongolia’s air quality crisis remains unresolved.In this episode, we speak with Enkhuun Byambadorj, co-founder and director of operations at Breathe Mongolia — an advocacy coalition dedicated to improving the air quality in Mongolia. Enkhuun shares insights on what needs to change, why progress has been slow, and what steps could finally lead to cleaner air for Mongolia’s future.If you have any suggestions for our show, please get in touch with us at info[at]agulamedia.comAnd if you are a supporter of us at Buy Me Coffee, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Great State Mural⁠. You can listen to extra recordings as we briefly discuss the current status of the MPP's infighting and how it came about.
