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.
