• We idenfied more vulnerabilies areas and sectors in the Five aimags by this research. • The results of this study is giving good messages for the policy makers • More vulnerable sums are need to implement green policy such as increasing “green” budget, to develop capacity of adaptaon and resilience, to decrease the vulnerability and to coordinate the policy plan and budget based on this research. • Idenfy needs of FREEZING SYSTEM in which sum to linking vulnerability and adaptaon opons.
