To tackle the challenges and risks posed by climate change and achieve climate-resilient development, the Government of Mongolia (GoM) has recognised the need to develop a comprehensive National Adaptation Plan (NAP). This Plan builds on the foundation of the “Building Capacity to Advance the National Adaptation Plan Process in Mongolia” project (NAP Project), led by the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change (MECC), supported by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), and funded by the Green Climate Fund (GCF). The National Adaptation Plan to Climate Change aims to strengthen Mongolia’s climate resilience by identifying and implementing targeted adaptation measures that address the nation’s most vulnerable biophysical and socio-economic sectors. It spans a seven-year period from 2024 to 2030, offering a clear framework for adaptation to anticipated climate impacts and supporting sustainable development.

The project, Strengthening local adaptation plans through integrating socio-economic vulnerability assessment and policy gap analysis in Mongolia and China, supported by APN, contributed to the National Action Plan.
