Global Challenges: Need a New Growth Paradigm
“Brown growth” failed in most of the world for more than a century• Industrialized by the end of the 19th century • No new developed country since then
New constraints & challenges• Resource constraints: depleting natural resources, diminishing space per capita• Deepening economic & social inequality• Climate Change: unprecedented• Degraded Earth’s carrying capacity: food & water security, biodiversity loss,
deforestation, ocean and soil acidification
The changing globalized world • Accelerating increase in demand for resources by connecting the world real
time• Aggravating frustration and anger of the poor• Social, political, economic instability increases
3
Global Challenges: Need a New Growth Paradigm
Need a new development paradigm to simultaneously address new constraints and challenges
Urgent, strong, collective efforts required• Decisive and strong action is urgent• Delay means greater risks and higher costs for human development, economies
and the environment• Collective actions of the global community required
“Green growth” as a new solution simultaneously targeting key aspects of • Economic performance• Environmental sustainability• Social inclusiveness
4
Green growth is the new revolutionary development paradigm thatsustains economic growth while at the same time ensuring climaticand environmental sustainability. It focuses on addressing the rootcauses of these challenges while ensuring the creation of thenecessary channels for resource distribution and access to basiccommodities for the impoverished (social inclusiveness).
A green economy is one that results in improved human well-beingand social equity, while significantly reducing environmental risksand ecological scarcities. It is low carbon, resource efficient, andsocially inclusive.
Green growth means fostering economic growth and development,while ensuring that natural assets continue to provide the resourcesand environmental services on which our well-being relies.

Tunneling Through the Traditional Development Path
Mohan Munasinghe (1995, 2007)
Following the “develop first, clean up later”path of developed countries will widen thegap and not be able to catch up.
Old Path : A B C E
International cooperation through technology transfer and fund supports for measures against climate change will enable developing countries to choose the new path and act wisely from the beginning.

Vision
Mission
GGGI was founded on the belief that economic growth and environmental sustainability are not merely compatible objectives; their integration is essential for the future of humankind.
1. To support developing and emerging countries in the design and implementation of green growth economic development plans at the national or provincial level
2. To promote a new paradigm of economic growth through research on green growth theory and practice
3. To accelerate the transition to green growth by facilitating public-private cooperation
4. To disseminate the results of our research and activity on green growth globally through capacity building and knowledge sharing

Mongolia Country Program

Background of Mongolia Country Program
Mongolia’s economy has grown substantially since 1991 when Mongolia began a transition to a free market-oriented economy.
• Double-digit GDP growth rates for 2011-2012
• Identified by Citigroup as one of “Global Growth Generators” for 2010-2050
The “natural resource based brown economy” has been degrading environment and vulnerable to outside shock.
• Mining sector accounts for about 20% of GDP
• Mongolia’s emissions intensity per unit of GDP among the world’s highest
• From 1940 to 2008, the annual mean air temperature increased by 2.14℃ (about 3 times the global average increase)
• Mongolia’s Initial National Communication to UNFCCC projected nearly five-fold emissions growth between 1993 and 2020 under BAU
Mongolian government is seeking diversified, green, and sustainable economic growth.
• Concept of green development as a new economic development strategy
• Established Ministry of Environment and Green Development and made it one of the core ministries
19
Background of Mongolia Country Program
For cooperative pursuit of green growth in Mongolia, GGGI and the Ministry of Environment and Green Development* signed an MOU in November 2011.
Mongolia signed the “Agreement on the Establishment of the Global Green Growth Institute” on June 9, 2013 and became the 19th Member State.
GGGI aims to assist the Mongolian government in developing and implementing a national green growth plan, with a top-down strategic approach, while also to promote sectoral green growth strategies that are tailored to specific needs of Mongolia, with a bottom-up practical approach.

Main Tasks
• Technical and economic assessment for converting diesel buses to eco-friendly buses
• Enhancement of inspection rules and regulations for vehicle emission control
• Effective management and operation strategies for the public transport system
• Future extension to eco-station development for green transport
Background & Motivation
• 20% of the total air pollution is due to the increasing number of automobiles and their emission of greenhouse and toxic gases
Project Goal
• To promote green (i.e., low carbon) public transport in Ulaanbaatar City and thereby contribute to reducing GHG emissions and improving the air quality

Bus Route Reform
• Economize Bus Routes by
introducing Trunk and Feeder
System
Fare System
• Provide Rider Incentives to Use
Bus/Public Transport
Smart Card
• Enhance Fare Collection
Transparency/ User Convenience
ITS
• BMS/BIS
• Enhance Traffic Management
Efficiency and Bus Info
Exclusive Median Bus
Lane
• Improve Bus Traffic Speed
Ownership Issues
• Introducing Quasi-Public Operation
System
Transfer Center
• Connects Transport Modes to Improve User
Convenience
Potential Impact on CO2 Reduction
27
Bus Route Reform
When the rate of modal shift to buses is 33% ,
the expected reduction of CO2 emissions is
about 16,000 t-CO2/year
Improvement of ITS
If the travel speed is improved to 40km/h through
improvement of ITS, the expected reduction of CO2
emissions is about 49,000 t-CO2/year

Sharing Outcomes

Main Tasks
• Assessment of the current status of Mongolian energy sector
• Identification, elaboration, and evaluation of key energy scenarios for Mongolia
• Proposal of key green energy/green growth initiatives for Mongolia
Background & Motivation
• With long cold winters and an annual average temperature of -3℃ and being the world’s most scarcely populated country, Mongolia faces considerable challenges to provide sufficient energy in terms of both quantity and quality
• Mongolia has a great potential for developing different types of renewable energy, and its abundant coal can be cleanly and effectively used
Project Goal
• To develop strategies for promoting the implementation of green energy systems in Mongolia
Project Team
• Global Green Growth Institute, Stockholm Environment Institute US Center, Team of Mongolian Local Consultants, and Advisory Committee
Strategies for Development of Green Energy Systems
30
Reference
• Continuation of largely coal-based energy supply for a rapidly expanding economy driven by mining exports, particularly coal and copper. Gradual improvement in energy intensity of demand
Recent Plans
• Same economic and demographic forecast, but with accelerated introduction of priority technologies reflecting recent developments and priorities. These include large hydro and wind plants, advanced coal combustion technology, and efficient lighting and apartment building insulation improvements
Expanded Green Energy• Same economic and demographic drivers, however with more rapid buildup of all
proposed renewable energy projects accompanied by extensive implementation of energy efficiency measures economy-wide
Shifts in Energy Exports
• Same as expanded green energy scenario but with an additional shift in the types of fuel and energy exported from coal to renewable electricity (wind and solar)
Four Scenarios
