Abstract
This paper examines the effects of climate change on the traditional nomadic lifestyle in Mongolia, focusing on the environmental shifts, changes in herding practices, economic consequences, social and cultural impacts, and the adaptation and coping strategies employed by herders. Key climate changes such as rising temperatures and altered precipitation patterns have led to significant environmental challenges, including desertification and water scarcity, which directly affect grassland ecosystems. These changes have disrupted seasonal migration patterns and grazing practices, impacting livestock health and productivity. The economic stability of herders is threatened by reduced income and increased costs, prompting diversification of economic activities. Social and cultural structures are also shifting, with traditional knowledge being both preserved and transformed to meet new challenges. The integration of traditional practices with modern technologies and innovations is crucial for building climate resilience. Policy and support mechanisms, including disaster preparedness, sustainable land management, financial support, education, and international collaboration, are essential to support the resilience and sustainability of Mongolia’s nomadic herding communities.
