| Summary: | Public environmental expenditure is an
important policy matter for the Mongolian economy and
society. Environmental expenditures include items related to
protection of the environment that may be incurred by the
public or private sectors. There are issues of coverage; in
particular, some countries do not include natural resource
sectors. Where an investment is made by industry, part of it
may have the effect of reducing emissions. Rules for
establishing environmental expenditure data were prepared by
the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development
(OECD) in the late 1970s and revised in 2001. This note
reviews the financing of public environmental expenditures
in Mongolia. The aim is to obtain more information on the
trends in this sector with respect to levels of spending as
well as the breakdown of that spending between different
areas. The study also aims to shed light on the
effectiveness of the expenditures and how this has been
changing since 2000. Finally, it makes some recommendations
for changes that could improve the management of this sector. |
