Mongolia’s updated NDC was submitted on October 13, 2020. There has been clear progress on defining adaptation measures and the mitigation targets have been increased, although it’s not clear to which extent due to methodological changes. The NDC lacks clear information on finance commitments, participation processes, climate governance structures and a transparent national system to track implementation. 

Considering that Mongolia is a lower middle-income country with relatively low total GHG emissions, but high per capita emissions compared to other countries, our analysis concludes that Mongolia’s NDC has Some Way to Go to become the NDC We Want according to our checklist.
