Mongolia: Climate and Nature Co-benefits

This report analyzes the alignment of Mongolia's nationally determined contributions (NDCs), national adaptation plans (NAPs), and national biodiversity strategies and action plans (NBSAPs) to identify gaps and opportunities for integrated climate and nature policy coordination.

• Mongolia does not have a formal mandate to align its NDC, NAP, and NBSAP, which results in fragmented planning and the execution of parallel project efforts, thereby limiting potential synergies.
• Climate and biodiversity processes in Mongolia have evolved independently, leading to the duplication of efforts and parallel assessments.
• A heavy dependence on consultants and development partners has fostered project-based policy efforts that are often parallel, increasing the risk of misaligned actions and missed coherence.
• The report defines synergies as the intentional coordination of planning and implementation across NDCs, NAPs, and NBSAPs to achieve more effective outcomes and co-benefits, noting that national policies currently tend to address climate and biodiversity crises separately.
