Mongolia is one of the most affected by climate change, by some counts warming three times faster than the global average.

The link between rising temperatures and extreme weather is well-established, but in Mongolia the effects are stark.

Last year's winter was the hardest I've ever known, killing virtually all of Zandan Lkhamsuren's sheep flock.

The loss of his animals and the loans he took out to keep feeding a smaller, hardier herd of goats mean he now struggles to make ends meet.
