Synopsis (short abstract) As a signatory to the Paris Agreement, Mongolia has committed to certain protocols for monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) regarding progress toward its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) targets. However, gaps remain in the MRV systems for the agriculture, forestry and other land uses (AFOLU) sector. In order to fulfil Mongolia’s Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF) commitments and improve the quality of climate related decision making at all levels, these gaps should be addressed, including inadequate institutional arrangements and technological and technical capacities for mitigation related MRV and adaptation related monitoring and reporting. As such, this project sought to conduction activities that enhance the overall quality of information related to those issues by aligning MRV practices with global standards. It was designed to ensure that all stakeholders access and benefit from the resulting MRV improvements, and focused on addressing coordination and measurement gaps that are prerequisites for reporting.

    Strengthening Capacities for Improving Climate Action in Agriculture - TCP/ARM/3805 2024

    Owing to the vulnerability of its ecosystems and the occurrence of frequent natural disasters, Armenia is particularly susceptible to the effects of climate change. As temperatures rise, the country is likely to experience the expansion of drylands, loss of forest cover, range shifts of certain species, flooding, landslides, and drought. These phenomena will have deleterious effects on the country’s poor rural communities, who largely depend on subsistence farming. To mitigate the above-mentioned effects of a changing climate, Armenia has expressed a strong commitment to implementing adaptation measures in the agriculture, forestry and fisheries sectors, among others, and to reducing greenhouse gas emissions through its Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). In 2018, Armenia joined the NDC Partnership and established an NDC Partnership Support Unit. The Unit then launched an initiative designed to build national capacity to develop, select, prioritize and carry out projects and activities that contribute to the implementation of the country’s NDC priorities, and to monitor these projects and activities.

    Strengthening the Legal Framework for Inclusive and Sustainable Growth of Mongolia’s Vegetable Sector - GCP/MON/015/SWI 2020

    Under the project, the existing legal policy concerning vegetable value chains in Mongolia was reviewed and draft policies were formulated based on the advice of legal and agricultural experts. Workshops on international best practices were delivered to Government personnel, researchers, seed breeders and farmers in order to develop a stronger understanding of legal policy and regulations on a national scale. As civil servants are the primary Government personnel who deal with policy at the field level, training was also delivered to enhance their capacity in the management and implementation of integrated pest management (IPM), good agricultural practices (GAP) and organic agriculture. Training facilitators, legal experts and representatives from relevant Government departments and national inspection agencies were all involved in this process. Subsequently, the implementation of regulations for IPM, GAP, pesticide management and organic agriculture were piloted in target areas. Civil servants worked directly with participating farmers by explaining national policy and regulations, the necessary actions for compliance with Mongolia’s food safety laws and their essential roles in the advancement of the country. Published technical guidelines and resources on these laws and regulations were also provided.

    Strengthening Country Capacities to Implement Climate Action through Enhanced Tools and Knowledge Sharing - GCP/GLO/998/GER 2019
    Also available in:

    The KoroniviaJoint Work on Agriculture (KJWA) decision (decision 4/CP.23) was reached at the United Nations Climate Change Conference in November 2017 (COP23). This landmark decision officially acknowledges the significance of countries’ agriculture sectors in adapting to and mitigating climate change. It also recognizes that to achieve greater results, it is necessary to combine scientific and technical negotiations with exchanges on how to facilitate implementation. A number of tools for climate change adaptation and mitigation in agricultural sectors are of mandatory use by most international finance institutions and multilateral development banks, when designing and proposing new investments and projects concerning agriculture sectors. However, most of these tools were developed using methodologies for measuring greenhouse gas emissions issued by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), and will soon become obsolete, owing to the refinement of these methodologies in May 2019. In addition, negotiators and stakeholders involved in the KJWA process call for ad hoc digested information related to the different topics covered by the decision. This information should also be available in French and Spanish, to ensure wider access to the information by more technical staff within the different ministries working at the nexus of agriculture and climate change.
