Elements

1. Water consumption and its use: 

Historically nomadic Mongolian families have depended on the vast land for sustenance . In the past, the areas of grasslands for grazing animals had been plentiful and food and water were easily obtained from its surroundings. However , all of that changing, as climate change is causing negative impact on Lifestyle .

Global warming is causing a severe effect on the Mongolian herders , who comprise about 40 percent of total 3 million people in the country. Since 1940, the average air temperature in the country has increased by 1.6 degrees Celsius. Heat waves are longer , and rain patterns have become " quite variable , decreasing at one site and increasing in another nearby " according to an estimate by the Ministry of Nature and Environment of the country. The Gobi Desert in the south , is quietly moving northward.

Desertification in the Gobi Desert is reducing available land for animals , which are important sources of food , graze . The population is also facing a freshwater crisis.

The snowy peaks of the Mongolian high mountains and glaciers have been melting and diminishing because of global warming. The thickness of the snowmelt will be 131 centimeters by 2039. According to the scientist , the whole world will begin to face freshwater shortages by 2020 and 108 million people will in fact have to deal with shortages sweet 2025. Since 1996 water, groundwater level has been steadily declining . Some of the largest lakes in the Gobi region such as lakes Taatsiin tsagaan , Adgiin Tsagaan , Ulaan , Orog well as many other rivers have dried up. 

Today, the meaning of the phrase "water is treasure " is becoming clearer. The country is located far from the nearest sea and has less water sources on earth and underground compared with countries that have sufficient water sources. People measure your life regarding water sources , eg remote areas may be used only in winter times because running water sources are scarce there, only snow is available in those areas. Seniors said they used to use sips of water to wash their faces and hands, but in the contemporary world , we use many more liters of water to do the same.

Many of these problems are not known within the country , let alone around the world. However , a local project called Nomad Green [ ing] has taken the initiative to teach the use of the tools of citizen media like blogs , photos, and videos to tell the story of their country and some of its environmental problems . The project began in 2009 as a partnership between various organizations and institutions [ing ] , and to date several workshops have taken place in the capital city of Ulaanbaatar and other communities around Mongolia.

The project has already shown positive Mughals teach how to use these tools to tell their stories about environmental challenges of their country steps. Part of this test is that the two bloggers already mentioned in this article, Mandah and Ariungerel are part of the Nomad Green project , which simply adds to number of voices concerned about the environmental future of Mongolia.

2. Education and job opportunities:

Mongolia used three mechanisms to improve this situation, which were:

1. Increased investment in education by the government of Mongolia.

2. reform in educational policies and reach out to those most excluded.

3. External support by development partners.

Educational outcomes are surprising today. The country has 98% of girls and 93% of children with secondary education, a figure that any rich country would envy. Considering that 40% of the population is nomadic, providing education in that country means a great challenge.

They have also improved in secondary education gaps between urban and rural areas. In 2000, secondary enrollment rate in rural areas was 75.6% compared with 88.8% in urban areas. In 2011, that disparity disappeared with 90.2% in rural areas and 89.9% in urban areas.

Now three out of five young Mongolians enter college, a rate comparable with high-income countries.

Child Rearing and Education.

Children have always been treasured in Mongolian culture, and large families were historically the norm. Large families were considered desirable because many children ensured extra help and security in old age. Although family size is changing today, the country is still so sparsely populated that some people still believe it is advantageous to have "as many Mongolians as possible." Attitudes about child rearing are generally quite relaxed and all family members participate in the supervision and moral education of children. 

Higher Education. 

The Mongolian State University was founded in 1942. Much of the teaching was originally in Russian due to a lack of Mongol language texts in specialized fields. Under socialism, the higher education system provided opportunities for promising students from all regions of the country to participate in advanced study in the Soviet Union or in Eastern Europe and education was closely linked to upward social mobility.
