Mott MacDonald to advise on Mongolian Clean Air Fund
Mott MacDonald has been appointed by the Ministry of Nature, Environment and Tourism in Mongolia to advise on the Ulaanbaatar Clean Air Fund. The initiative aims to support the Government of Mongolia in the implementation of a legal, technical, financial and institutional framework for cleaner fuel use to reduce air pollution in Ulaanbaatar. Mongolia has an extremely harsh winter climate with households requiring heating for an eight-month period. Midwinter (late December and early January) daytime temperatures range from -10°C to -30°C, and can drop to as low as -40°C at night.
