Capacity building activities under support of international partners which Capacity building activities under support of international partners which strongly linked to technology accelerations on climate change : strongly linked to technology accelerations on climate change : In 2017, Mongolia has become a member, and jointly organized the National Forum on NDC in Oct. 2017 engaging stakeholders, in 2018 other Since 2013, under the Joint Credit Mechanism, varies workshops for local stakeholders including the private sector more than 200 Joint ADB-UNEP Project Pilot Asia-Pacific Climate Technology Network and Finance Center (CTCN) 2014; TA: Integration of Climate Technology Financing Needs into National Development Strategies, Plans and Investments Priorities 2015 Since 2013, under PAGE varies activities conducted in areas construction, sustainable procurement, green economy learning and sustainable finance. of as green public 2017-2018, AIT co-organized trainings on: Economics of Climate Change Adaptation Mainstreaming gender in adaptation planning GCF Concept Development Together introducing GCF and accreditation process, included the private sector with GIZ, workshops on 2015-2017, supported project on BUR and TNC, local and regional workshops organized on GHG inventory, mitigation and adaptation planning and transparency under the GEF-UNEP In 2018, under the GCF Readiness projects on (i) NDA Capacity Building (XacBank) and (ii) Developing country program; varies training and workshop are being organized engaging wider stakeholders
BUR BUR ICA report ICA report Mongolia reported information on its technology needs and the technology support received. This information was presented in its BUR1 with cross references to its NC2. Further, during the technical analysis, Mongolia clarified that there is a strong need to undertake a further TNA. In 2013 the Government of Mongolia conducted a TNA on mitigation and adaptation with the support of the GEF through the United Nations Environment Programme. However, the information included in the 2013 TNA needs to be updated and amended consistent with emerging international and domestic climate change policies and strategies. Mongolia will require enhanced financial and technical support to conduct a new TNA. In consultation with Mongolia, the TTE identified the following capacity-building needs related to the facilitation of the preparation of subsequent BURs and participation in ICA: To enhance the institutional arrangements and coordination for the development of the national MRV system; To obtain financial and technical support to conduct a new TNA.
