Mongolia: Climate and Nature Co-benefits

The study finds that Mongolia's climate and biodiversity planning is fragmented due to the lack of a formal mandate for alignment and a heavy reliance on external consultants. This has resulted in parallel project efforts and duplicated assessments across NDCs, NAPs, and NBSAPs. The report advocates for nationally led coordination to achieve synergies and co-benefits between climate and nature policies.

• Mongolia does not have a formal mandate to align its NDC, NAP, and NBSAP, which results in fragmented planning and parallel project efforts, limiting the potential for synergies.
• Climate and biodiversity processes in Mongolia have evolved separately, leading to the duplication of efforts and parallel assessments.
• A strong dependence on consultants and development partners has fostered project-based policy efforts that are often misaligned and lack coherence.
