Mongolia faces significant climate-related challenges, including rising temperatures and intensifying aridity, impacting the traditional nomadic herding lifestyle of many Mongolians.

According to an ADB press release, the program will help strengthen the institutional framework, investment planning, and budgeting system for climate action. This will include policy actions that would catalyze investments in renewable energy generation, energy efficiency use in the buildings sector and climate-resilient agriculture, livestock, and food processing. It will help further enhance climate finance and resource management by strengthening the funding and financing of investments in climate action through the issuance of green and sustainable bonds and increasing the green loan portfolio of the banking sector.
