🔳 📙 📘 “INVESTING IN NATURE AS A CLIMATE AND DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY FOR MONGOLIA” — The World Bank Group. December 2024 🌐 _______ TO GENERATE POLICY-RELEVANT KNOWLEDGE, the Note identifies the development and climate co-benefits of Nature-based Solutions (NbS), demonstrates that this potential is possible but will involve a combination of public and private sector initiatives and efforts, identifies institutional and regulatory gaps, and suggests ways forward. The note also suggests a process that starts with policy but supports implementation and scale-up through institution capacity building, and investment at the landscape level using various funding mechanisms. 🗺️ KEY MESSAGES 1️⃣ Mongolia has harsh natural and climatic conditions, with human-induced degradation worsening the impact of the increasing climate risks. 2️⃣ Solutions to these challenges can come from nature itself, partly through investing in the integration of the management of grassland and forest ecosystems. 3️⃣ While Mongolia has put nature at the heart of its policy and investment toolbox, it needs to fill important gaps in terms of integrated planning, implementation capacity, and financing. 4️⃣ Building on the Government Program of Action 2024–2028, a whole-of-economy effort, involving public and private actors and leveraging a variety of tools, including carbon finance, is required to develop the full potential of nature to boost resilience and development opportunities. 🔹 https://lnkd.in/eXBwE_gJ _______
