Turning the Ulan Buh Desert into a High Yield Zero Pollution Eco-agricultural Zone

Presentation

Ulan Buh Desert is a success story of turning a desert into green belt in a grand scale.  It embraces the concept of circular economy and zero-wastes eco-agri businesses that involves civic voluntary groups, local farmers and state officials with investment in renewable resources.  Homeland Green participated in study tours and tree planting expeditions in the area.  It is our observation that such project only works if it benefits all stakeholders in the economic chain.

We hope to see success stories of other 4 per 1000 members and see if we could adopt their methodologies, approach and technological advances in our context.  

2.Solidarity - Twin-Regions

The twin regions concept aims to optimize the use of resources to address the global climate crisis and other pressing issues by promoting international solidarity and massive, empowered, self-reliant and equitable citizen participation. A Twin-Region is a pair of communities that are complementary in terms of green house gas emissions and sequestration potential. They pool their recourses and collaborate in order to become carbon neutral and to solve other pressing environmental and societal issues, such as biodiversity loss and migration. Click here to read a one page outline.

Pros and cons

The concept is interesting. 

Pros:

• once twin-regions are identified, the regions would be held accountable.

Cons:

• Viable methods are required to measure the carbon credit produced and consumed.
