    In 2024, Mongolia navigated a complex development landscape marked by economic vulnerability, climate-induced disasters, and structural challenges to rural livelihoods. Despite these headwinds, the country made important progress in advancing its national priorities in sustainable agriculture, food security, and climate resilience. Against this backdrop, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) played a vital role in supporting Mongolia’s transition toward sustainable and inclusive food systems. This report outlines FAO’s contributions in strengthening food safety, improving nutrition, enhancing rural resilience, and promoting innovation in agrifood systems. It provides evidence of how targeted support, strong partnerships, and integrated programming can generate meaningful and lasting change across communities and ecosystems.

    Climate-smart agriculture and the Sustainable Development Goals
    Mapping interlinkages, synergies and trade-offs and guidelines for integrated implementation
    2019
    Also available in:

    The United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development with its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and 169 targets presents a universally accepted and comprehensive framework addressing all aspects and dimensions of sustainability. The integration of the climate-smart agriculture (CSA) approach with the implementation of the 2030 Agenda provides an opportunity to enhance the overall sustainability of CSA results and synergize CSA interventions with other sustainable development efforts. To achieve this integration, a clear understanding of how the CSA implementation process can engage with the 2030 Agenda throughout the five CSA implementation steps is required. Moreover, the interlinkages between CSA objectives and the SDGs and associated targets need to be well understood – including both potential synergies and trade-offs. This publication presents an assessment and mapping of CSA-SDG interlinkages. These provide entry points for targeted CSA planning to enhance synergies and reduce potential trade-offs between CSA objectives and SDGs. The publication also provides guidelines for the integration of the CSA implementation steps with the 2030 Agenda. An important aspect of these guidelines is the integration with the Paris Agreement – and the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) pledged by countries – as a complementary process to the 2030 Agenda and the central reference point for countries’ commitments to climate action.

    Climate technologies for agrifood systems transformation
    Placing food security, climate change and poverty reduction at the forefront

    The global community has committed to responding to climate change while ensuring decent livelihoods and healthy food for everyone, keeping within planetary boundaries. Transforming agrifood systems is essential to meeting these challenges, with climate response being an intrinsic element. The need for more resilient systems that can sustain increasing demands in a setting of tightening constraints is evident. Resilience must be generated across environmental, social and economic domains, all the while maintaining the economic viability of agrifood systems to ensure that transition occurs in a just and fair manner. Climate technologies are a key enabler to support climate action and the sustainable transition of agrifood systems.The report highlights the needs for robust technology assessments to underpin climate technology identification for agrifood systems transformation that addresses all stages of agrifood value chains. This needs to be supported by capacity-building programmes, targeted financing and fed into the ongoing climate policy process. The capacity-building strategy and efforts are to be tied to the technology assessments, and identify suitable and correct skill sets, especially for smallholders and vulnerable segments of the population.
