Mongolia's Big Social Innovation Climate Change Experiment | Social Enterprise: "Mongolia is about to embark on a huge social innovation experiment this November, as it tries to counter the harsh effects of global warming on its capital city, Ulan Bator. This groundbreaking project aims to store freezing winter temperatures in a giant block of ice that will help to cool and provide fresh drinking water to the city as it slowly melts during the summer heat. Mongolia has an extreme climate of droughts, and unusually cold and snowy winters, which have destroyed livestock and the livelihoods of thousands of families."
