Legal reform of environment sector is going on effectively. The government is working to make amendments to the law on Special Funds that allow Mongolia to get financial support from ‘Green Climate Fund’ to implement projects and programs. The Ministry of Environment is working to develop over 10 bills and amendments to some legislation, including laws on Casino, Air, Garbage and Environment protection. Mongolia is considered one of countries where climate change occurs fast. A recent nationwide water survey revealed that 120 rivers and springs out of 200 in the eastern region are dried out. There are incidents that mining companies abandon the mined areas without restoration or with poor rehabilitation. Therefore, the Ministry of Environment is also working to improve the legal environment so that the responsibilities of mining companies are tightened by considering the illegal act as crime against nature and environment.
