Combat air pollution in Ulaanbaatar City, Mongolia, with UNDP!

In Mongolia's ger districts, harsh winters force families to burn coal for warmth, filling the air with dangerous smog. Over half of Mongolia’s 3.5 million people live in Ulaanbaatar, facing some of the worst air pollution in the world. This pollution, largely caused by coal briquettes and coal-powered plants, poses severe health risks, with many residents suffering from respiratory diseases, including cancer.

But you can help change this.

Join our #SolarSolution campaign and help families in ger areas transition from coal heating to clean, renewable solar power. Every contribution will empower communities to breathe clean, fresh air and build brighter, healthier futures.

Be part of the solution.

Donate today to clear the skies, one solar panel at a time.

    These days whenever I come back home after being outside, I can smell smog on the clothes I wore. It really shows how bad the air pollution is here in Ulaanbaatar. I hope we can team up and breathe in cleaner air together👍

    If only, I could breathe fresh air in ulaanbaatar by switching away from coal. Fresh air is a human right. Switching to solar for heating will reduce air pollution in Mongolia and create healthy living for everyone.
