AB  - The shift to a low-carbon future places mineral-rich low- and middle-income countries at the forefront of the
green transition. The focus on investment and extraction presents significant domestic challenges as countries
endeavour to create viable development agendas. Framed by initiatives including environmental, social and
governance (ESG), impact assessment (IA) and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the international com-
munity works to improve extractive practices. In Mongolia, the most mining-dependent country in Asia,
addressing and mitigating industry impacts is key to continued resource extraction and economic progress.
Whilst often a signatory to global programmes, government engagement is limited. Mongolia ranks 157th in ESG
and though mining licenses cover 4% of the country, there is no social impact assessment (SIA) legislation.
Extensive research on the development of SIA guidelines identified strong community interest yet dilatory
official uptake and commitment. Ongoing engagement with civil society has seen regulations advanced and the
legislative process initiated. Mongolia’s struggle identifies common challenges LMICs face in the implementation
of global initiatives. Whilst well-intentioned, without government commitment ESG and IA will remain
ambiguous terms for serious social and environmental issues in mining nations.
