Mongolia’s heavy reliance on imported used Japanese hybrids—especially the Toyota Prius—has improved mobility and reduced some urban emissions, but is accelerating a hazardous end-of-life battery challenge. With limited domestic recycling capacity and tighter constraints on battery exports, depleted packs are increasingly being stored and handled through informal channels, elevating safety and environmental risks.
Tibet has expanded government-paid environmental patrolling roles to hundreds of thousands of residents, embedding conservation into local livelihoods and governance. The long-term subsidy model aims to protect forests, water sources, and wildlife, but faces risks around cost efficiency, monitoring quality, and reputational interpretation.
