Mongolia
Mongolia submitted its first Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) in 2016, followed by an updated version in 2020. Most recently, in September 2025, Mongolia submitted its NDC 3.0, committing to a greenhouse has (GHG) emissions reduction of 30.3% unconditionally by 2035 and up to 52.8% with international support.
Mitigation priorities include expanding renewable energy and improving efficiency in energy generation and use, transitioning to cleaner transport and electrification, low carbon technologies in industry, construction and waste management and forest protection, restoration and sustainable rangeland management.
Adaptation priorities are water resources and desertification, biodiversity and forest ecosystems, climate resilient animal husbandry and agriculture, public health, social protection, education, disaster risk reduction and cultural heritage.
Developed under the leadership of the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change (MECC), the NDC 3.0 is aligned with Mongolia's Vision 2050 development strategy, the Long-Term Low Emission Development Strategy and the New Revival Policy.
