Washington to Ulaanbaatar: World Environment Day Fights Food Waste ens-newswire/2013/06/04/washington-to-ulaanbaatar-world-environment-day-fights-food-waste/ "On Sunday, thousands of runners took part in a marathon flagged off by current marathon world record holder Patrick Makau, the UNEP Patron for Clean Air. The runners passed through the streets of Ulaanbaatar on a day where the city center was designated car free. On Monday, Mongolia hosted a Green Development National Forum. The mineral-rich country has placed a moratorium on new mining concessions while looking to a more sustainable future based on renewable energy and ecotourism. Today, Mongolia flipped the switch on its first wind farm on Salhit Mountain in Tuv Province as part of the country’s transition to a low-carbon future. Also today, the Mongolia Renewable Energy Futures and Green Development conference is exploring the relationship between renewable energy and green development in Mongolia, where there is a potential to redefine rational and sustainable growth." --- D.
