The Climate Question

Why are some countries fighting extreme cold?


Listen Later

Climate change is usually associated with hotter weather, but experts say that in Mongolia it's making the country's cold snaps even harsher. Can Mongolian nomads survive much longer in extreme winter conditions known as "dzuds"? Or will the loss of their livestock and livelihoods force herders to abandon a way of life that dates back millennia?

Graihagh Jackson finds out more about the situation on the ground from Mongolian reporter Khaliun Bayartsogt, and explores possible solutions with Khulan Dashpuntsag from the UN-funded ADAPT project.

Presenter: Graihagh Jackson

Reporter in Mongolia: Khaliun Bayartsogt
Producers: Tsogzolmaa Shofyor, Octavia Woodward, Caroline Bayley, Ellie House
Sound Mix: Tom Brignell
Editor: Simon Watts
