Mongolia improves livestock emissions estimation with the global livestock environmental assessment model

Agriculture sector is a main emission source in Mongolia including livestock methane emissions according to latest National Inventory Report (NIR).  So, Mongolia’s interest in estimating and tracking livestock GHG emissions associated with different herd management scenarios is high specially among state and national research institutions. To strengthen evidence base for implementation of transformative climate action in Agriculture sector, the GLEAM Model is adapted to extensive livestock production system characteristics and seasonality in cooperation with FAO’s Livestock Innovation, Climate and Post-harvesting Solutions branch and the Research Institute Animal Husbandry (RIAH), supported by SCALA programme.
