近年来，蒙古因严冬造成的牲畜大量损失促使政府和发展机构采取了各种干预措施，旨在降低牧民对恶劣天气和其他气候因素的脆弱性。不幸的是，许多干预措施并没有系统地降低牧民面临的风险。在本文中，我们确定了牧民通过非正式互助网络管理暴风雨风险和影响所采用的几种策略。我们将这些策略与在蒙古运作的国际捐助机构采取的干预措施进行了对比，这些机构主要关注家庭作为一个独立的社会经济单位。我们的结论是，通过承认非正式互助网络以及对互助机构的支持，可以改善风险缓解。
Heavy livestock losses from severe winter conditions (dzud) in Mongolia in recent years have prompted a variety of interventions by government and development agencies, aiming to reduce herders’ vulnerability to severe weather and other climate factors. Unfortunately, many of these interventions have not systematically diminished risk to herders. In this paper we identify several strategies deployed by herders for managing dzud risks and impacts through informal mutual aid networks. We contrast these strategies to interventions taken by international donor agencies operating in Mongolia, which have largely focused on the household as an independent socio-economic unit. We conclude that risk mitigation can be improved through recognition of informal mutual aid networks, and through support to mutual aid institutions.
