Project:
Supporting Climate Policy Actions in Mongolia
Purpose and Objectives:
Climate change is directly contributing to humanitarian emergencies from heatwaves, wildfires, floods, tropical storms and hurricanes and they are increasing in scale, frequency and intensity. Research shows that 3.6 billion people already live in areas highly susceptible to climate change. Between 2030 and 2050, climate change is expected to cause approximately 250,000 additional deaths per year, from undernutrition, malaria, diarrhea and heat stress alone. The Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) are at the heart of the Paris Agreement and the achievement of its long-term goals. NDCs embody efforts by each country for reducing greenhouse (GHG) emissions in support of the 2°C target and their priorities on climate adaptation.
Mongolia ratified the Paris Agreement in 2016 and updated its NDC in 2019 with increased ambition to reduce GHG emission from 14% to 22.7% by 2030, compared to the projected emissions under a BAU scenario for 2010. To achieve this, Mongolia will implement concrete measures to mitigate and adapt to climate change by improving its climate change policies, institutional frameworks and governance, access to climate finance, transparency of climate monitoring and reporting, and sectoral capacities. The initial estimations of financing needs for the NDC implementation is around $11.5 billion—$6.3 billion for mitigation and $5.2 billion for adaptation. A knowledge and support technical assistance (TA) on Supporting Climate Policy Actions will assist the Government of Mongolia climate action through enabling climate-relevant policies aligned with the updated NDC targets.
