Mongolia shows the birthing pains of a green economy - environment - 14 June 2013 - New Scientist: "AS WE drive across the Mongolian steppes, the contrasts are striking. A nomadic horseman herds cattle among shadows cast by the nation's first wind farm, while a few hundred metres away, a train with more than 60 carriages ships coal from an enormous mine. Back in the capital Ulan Bator, the world's second most polluted city, lives President Tsakhiagiin Elbegdorj, one of five UN Champions of the Earth for 2012. Mongolia is not alone: these trials face all nations seeking a green path to rapid economic growth."
