| Title | Environmental Impact Assessment in Mongolia:Critical analysis and recommendations for improvement |
| Summary | This paper analyzes the current situation of the legislation and practice on project-level environmental impact assessment (EIA) and gives recommendations to enhance the EIA system in Mongolia. As of today, the development of the EIA system in Mongolia is in its transition period, moving from the system of appraisals into the period of the reform and improvement of its EIA system. The transition period has provided many opportunities for economic growth, but posed increasing challenges of environmental conservation. Like many other transition economies, Mongolia has limited experience in the “state-o f-the-artȁ d; EIA practices, and there are significant rooms for improvement as it has been confirmed during the research analysis. This Master’s thesis work aims to provide a humble contribution to enhancing the EIA system in Mongolia, by providing an integrated base for EIA analysis. A wide range of the research methods were used for the research such as case study analysis, legislative and literature reviews, comparison of the law changes, as well as the questionnaire and interviews with key stakeholders of the process of environmental impact assessment.As an outcome, this research gives recommendations to overcome the practical and legal deficiencies that were identified during the research work. The general conclusion of this research is that more comprehensive, detailed and integrated Regulations need to be developed complementing the Law on EIA and covering the recommended issues. |
