Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/. A seminar took place on the contribution of Mongolia to the Paris Agreement in aims of redefining the Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) with the participation of sectors.

Having signed the Paris Agreement, the Mongolian Parliament set a goal to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 14 percent by 2030. In the frameworks of the goal, various measures, projects as well as multilateral and bilateral mechanisms on supporting renewable energy, measuring greenhouse gas emissions and funding actions against climate change have been consistently implemented.

With many of the global countries giving high significance to the implementation of the Paris Agreement, Mongolia is also taking intensified actions, such as redefining NDC with the participation of sectors and working to have the long-term plan, which will be approved in 2020, sent to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and implemented in phases for a long term.

The seminar on redefining NDC with the participation of sectors was co-organized by the German Society for International Cooperation (GIZ). Corresponding officials and climate change experts in the energy and mining sectors attended the seminar, discussing measures to be taken to determine NDC, participation of sectors and necessary support as well as the work plan for 2019.
