Nearly 77% of Mongolia's land is degraded. UNCCD COP17—the first of this year's three Rio Convention COPs—is underway in Mongolia, presenting an important opportunity to move from negotiation to implementation by connecting climate, biodiversity, and land action.
With UNDP support, Mongolia is aligning its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC), National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plans (NBSAPs), and sustainable land management priorities so they reinforce, rather than compete with, one another. When climate, nature, and land are planned together, countries can unlock more effective implementation, stronger institutions, and greater investment.
Watch how Mongolia is strengthening the nature-climate-land nexus through integrated policy.
