Congratulations to UNDP Mongolia on 50 years of meaningful impact across Mongolia.

Over the past five decades, United Nations Development Programme - UNDP has supported Mongolia’s development journey, working across communities, institutions, and sectors to advance sustainable progress.

At URECA, we are proud to partner with UNDP in Mongolia - НҮБ-ын Хөгжлийн хөтөлбөр through Coal-to-Solar (C2S), helping households reduce reliance on coal heating and move toward cleaner, safer, and more sustainable energy solutions.

This partnership reflects what practical climate action can look like at home, supporting families, improving living conditions, and contributing to a cleaner future for Mongolia.

We need to act for our home. This World Environment Day is a reminder that climate action starts with the choices we make every day, from how we power our homes to how we protect the environment around us. Small actions matter. Scaled together, they shape the future.

URECA was honoured to participate in the Powering Social Impact: Digital Frontiers for Social Good Forum hosted by UNSW Business School’s Digital Frontiers Lab, in partnership with UNDP Mongolia and URECA.

The forum brought together researchers, policymakers, development partners, industry leaders, and community-focused practitioners to explore an important question: how can technology support a more just and inclusive energy transition?

For URECA, this was a meaningful opportunity to share the story behind our Coal-to-Solar initiative in Mongolia. Through keynote presentations, video stories, and a VR experience, we were able to bring the realities of ger district households into the room, including the challenges families face when relying on coal for heat during Mongolia’s harsh winters, and what becomes possible when cleaner, solar-powered heating solutions are introduced.

Our work is not only about replacing one energy source with another. It is about combining renewable energy, digital monitoring, carbon finance, and community engagement to create solutions that are practical, measurable, and scalable.

We are grateful to UNSW Business School, the Digital Frontiers Lab, and UNDP in Mongolia - НҮБ-ын Хөгжлийн хөтөлбөр for creating a space where research, policy, implementation, and lived experience could come together in a grounded and constructive way.

Thank you to the organisers, speakers, partners, and participants who contributed to such an important discussion on technology, social impact, and a just energy transition.

The energy transition must be shaped not only by technology, but by a deeper understanding of the people and communities it is intended to serve.

Happy Earth Day! 🌎

Every day is Earth Day. Under this year’s theme, “Our Power, Our Planet,” we recognize that a sustainable future is the result of collective action and the consistent efforts we make every single day.

From large-scale solutions to the small daily habits, every action counts toward a bright future with clean air and a thriving environment. Let’s continue to protect, restore, and invest in the only home we’ve got. 🌿

Nature Magazine recently published a photo story on air pollution in Ulaanbaatar featuring URECA’s Coal-to-Solar project.

For us, this is truly meaningful because the story reflects the challenge as it really is. Ulaanbaatar’s air pollution is not just an environmental issue. It is tied to how families heat their homes, how cities grow, how climate displacement reshapes communities, and how difficult it can be to make cleaner alternatives accessible and trusted at the household level. The article brings those dimensions together through people, place, and lived experience.

It also highlights what gives us hope. Coal-to-Solar reflects our belief that low-income households should not be left behind in the energy transition, and that practical systems combining solar, electric heating, batteries, smart monitoring, and insulation can help make that possible.

We are grateful to see this work and the urgency behind it brought to a wider global audience, and we remain focused on building what comes next.

Mongolia’s capital is among the world’s most toxic cities. One aspirational ex-physicist is clearing the air.

URECA is now in year four.

Mongolia is on the frontline of global grassland degradation, with nearly 77% of its territory affected. Overgrazing and climate change are driving a cycle of vegetation loss, soil degradation, and declining carbon storage.

In 2022, we started by understanding the system before attempting to scale solutions.

Our pilot in Zavkhan Province, in collaboration with The Asia Foundation, combined plant surveys, soil analysis, and drone-based monitoring across 4 sites and 9 sample points. The findings were clear. Removing grazing pressure led to vegetation recovery, improved soil conditions, and increased carbon storage potential.

We then worked directly with herders, the real experts of the grassland. Together with partners including Good Growth, we began a multi-year field campaign in Jinst soum, Bayankhongor Province, building long-term monitoring partnerships with two herder communities, Ovoot Tsagaan and Erdenet Mal Sureg. The focus was simple. Turn community knowledge into measurable data and practical tools for livestock management.

Building on this foundation, we are developing a system to measure and verify change from soil to landscape scale using field data, remote sensing, and monitoring technologies.

According to the Asian Development Bank, Mongolia’s grasslands hold over 440 million tCO₂e of carbon sequestration potential over 20 years, driven by improved grazing and livestock management and soil carbon recovery. Our ambition is to help enable that potential.

Today, the world comes together for Earth Hour 2026. On Saturday, March 28 at 8:30 PM local time, millions of people across the globe will switch off their non-essential lights for one hour in support of the planet.

This year is extra special as Earth Hour celebrates 20 years of impact. Since it began in 2007 in Sydney, Australia, Earth Hour has grown into a global movement that reminds us that small actions, when taken together, can create meaningful change.

Let this be more than just one hour in the dark. Let it be a moment to reconnect with nature, spend time with family and friends, and reflect on how we can live more sustainably every day. Switch off your lights and give an hour for Earth.

Happy Lunar New Year! As we welcome the Year of the Horse, we celebrate renewed energy and forward momentum.

May this year bring us meaningful progress in our journeys, for our community and for our planet.
