These agreements aim to stabilize greenhouse gas concentration in the atmosphere at a level that does not seriously affect the climate. The Kyoto Protocol aims to legalize the issue of reducing greenhouse gases in the atmosphere for countries at a meeting held in Kyoto city in December 1997. As of July 2007, a total of 174 countries and regional economic cooperation organizations had ratified it. Only developed countries can join the Kyoto Protocol.

The Paris Agreement was adopted in Paris, France on December 12, 2015. Mongolia joined the Paris Agreement on April 22, 2016, and activities continue to this day. The "National Goal" international conference to implement the Paris Agreement was organized in Ulaanbaatar in 2019.

Greenhouse gases aimed to be reduced and their sources:

  • Carbon dioxide (CO2) - Vehicles, combustion related to electricity and heat production, certain other production processes, tropical deforestation
  • Nitrous oxide (N2O) - Agriculture, chemical production, combustion activities
  • Methane (CH4) - Agriculture, oil and gas-related activities, and waste management activities
  • Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), Perfluorocarbons (PFCs), Sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) - Aluminum, magnesium, semiconductor production, aerosol substances, air conditioning and insulation foam production

In Mongolia's case, carbon dioxide gas is significantly emitted from ger district stoves, vehicles, and heating plants. This negatively affects not only the environment but also human health, particularly the respiratory system, nervous system, reproductive system, cardiovascular system, etc.

By 2030, we plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 22.7% or equivalent to 16.89 million tons of CO2 in total at the level of energy, agriculture, industry, transportation, construction, and waste sectors, advancing the goals presented at the 2019 international conference. We also set a goal to reduce 8.34 million tons of carbon dioxide using renewable energy.

For this, methods may include actively installing all types of renewable energy generators, improving efficiency of steam boilers and low-pressure boilers, improving household insulation to reduce heat loss, reducing raw fuel use and transitioning to biofuel, electrifying transportation, planting trees and beautifying our environment. Greenhouse gas and global warming have become critical issues, and although the Kyoto Protocol didn't exactly reduce greenhouse gases, the world united for the first time on climate change issues. The Paris Agreement, its continuation, has the world's expectation of being more effective in eliminating many types of harmful gases.
