Assessment and Status Report of Just Energy Transition in Mongolia

Mongolia is highly dependent on coal mining for export and domestic energy production. As a result, a just energy transition (JET) will have varying degrees of impact on those whose activities are directly linked to coal, as well as an impact on the entire economy.
The current policies at the national and local levels point to a future economic model in which coal continues to play a major role in energy production and as an export commodity.
This analysis takes the district of Nalaikh as its spatial focus. Nalaikh exemplifies the dynamics within a district that has phased out coal but is still heavily dependent on it for energy production, economic development, employment, and taxes.
The study of stakeholders at the national and local level (Nalaikh) analyses two factors: (1) how different stakeholders at national and local levels are affected by the JET, and (2) how these stakeholders shape the JET process. This approach seeks to evidence the stakeholder dynamics around JET, providing a more detailed picture of the JET situation in the country.
