    Abstract: The cross-border railways and oil and gas pipelines along the China-Mongolia-Russia Economic Corridor are key hubs and channels supporting the regional cooperation and development. It is very important to complete scientific regionalization of ecological risk of China-Mongolia-Russia Economic Corridor and put forward suggestions to guarantee smooth construction and safe cross-border traffic project. By establishing ecological risk evaluation model, we quantitatively analyzed the ecological risk of China Mongolia#2;Russia Economic Corridor, and regionalized high, middle, and low risk. We put forward the ecological risk prevention and control countermeasures for China-Mongolia-Russia Economic Corridor. It shows that the ecological risk areas are distributed along the “two belts and one line”. The risk of desertification is along the China-Mongolia-Russia cross-border traffic belt, the risk of permafrost is along the China-Russia cross-border traffic belt and the China-Russian crude oil pipeline. The proposed suggestions are designated to prevent and control ecological risk from the perspectives of promoting ecological civilization to realize a “two-highs and three-lows” mode; constructing of a green economic corridor, optimizing the industrial structure, actively establishing a four-tier circular economy system, and developing green circular industries; innovating technical biological engineering; establishing system and mechanism of an international cooperation and monitoring ecological risk network system along China-Mongolia-Russia Economic Corridor. We provide scientific technic support for rationally building cross-border railways and pipelines, avoiding and preventing ecological risks in China#2;Mongolia-Russia Economic Corridor. It will be decision-making basis to promote regional green and sustainable development.
