The vast country 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 - ranging from droughts and floods to heatwaves and cold snaps - is well-established.

In Mongolia the effects are stark.

Among other consequences, deep freezes like the one that killed Zandan's herd - known as dzuds - have been growing more frequent and intense.
