Land legislation and the possibilities for pastoral risk management and adaptation to climate change: the example of Mongolia
This paper addresses the impacts of climate change in Mongolia, asking what legal instruments can help to assure the adaptation of pastoralism - being the predominant economic activity and mode of life of the rural population - to the changing conditions. It shows that securing the mobility of herders and their access to the relevant natural resources is a key feature for the adaptation to climate change and the corresponding risk management.
