Overall Summary: 
Mongolia’s INDC has its conceptual roots in the Green Development Policy of Mongolia, approved by the Parliament in 2014, to which key sectorial action plans at the national level, including energy sector, are being adjusted. Key indicators for measuring progress in the implementation of the Green Development Policy include, among others, efficient use of energy, GHG emissions and ecological footprint per unit of GDP. In its INDC, Mongolia has outlined a series of policies and measures that the country commits to implement up to 2030, in the energy, industry, agriculture and waste sectors.
Access
Clean cooking solutions: 
Mongolia is also interested to pursue some additional mitigation actions:  Reduce fuel use in individual households through improving stove efficiency (with co-benefit of air pollution reduction)[...].
Efficiency
EE targets: 
Reduce building heat loss by 20% by 2020 and by 40% by 2030, compared to 2014 levels. Reduce internal energy use of Combined Heat and Power plants (improved plant efficiency) from 14.4% in 2014 to 11.2% by 2020 and 9.14% by 2030.
EE action plans: 
Mongolia is also interested to pursue some additional mitigation actions:  Reduce fuel use in individual households through improving stove efficiency (with co-benefit of air pollution reduction)[...].
EE transport standards : 
Shift from liquid fuel to LPG for vehicles in Ulaanbaatar and aimag (province) centres by improving taxation and environmental fee system. Improve enforcement mechanism of standards for road vehicles and non-road based transport.
Renewable Energy
RE targets: 
Increase renewable electricity capacity from 7.62% in 2014 to 20% by 2020 and to 30% by 2030 as a share of total electricity generation capacity.
Environment
GHG emissions reduction targets: 
[A] 14% reduction in total national GHG emissions excluding Land use, land use change and forestry (LULUCF) by 2030, compared to the projected emissions under a business as usual scenario.
Pollution control action plans: 
By 2030, Mongolia intends to contribute to global efforts to mitigate GHG emissions by implementing the policies and measures listed[...]: Increase renewable electricity capacity from 7.62% in 2014 to 20% by 2020 and to 30% by 2030 as a share of total electricity generation capacity. Reduce electricity transmission losses from 13.7% in 2014 to 10.8% by 2020 and to 7.8% by 2030. Reduce building heat loss by 20% by 2020 and by 40% by 2030, compared to 2014 levels. Reduce internal energy use of Combined Heat and Power plants (improved plant efficiency) from 14.4% in 2014 to 11.2% by 2020 and 9.14% by 2030. Implement advanced technology in energy production such as super critical pressure coal combustion technology by 2030. Improve national paved road network. Upgrading/Paving 8000 km by 2016, 11000 km by 2021. Improve Ulaanbaatar city road network to decrease all traffic by 30-40% by 2023. Increase the share of private hybrid road vehicles from approximately 6.5% in 2014 to approximately 13% by 2030. Shift from liquid fuel to LPG for vehicles in Ulaanbaatar and aimag (province) centres by improving taxation and environmental fee system. Improve enforcement mechanism of standards for road vehicles and non-road based transport.---Mongolia is also interested to pursue some additional mitigation actions:  Reduce fuel use in individual households through improving stove efficiency (with co-benefit of air pollution reduction)[...]. Waste sector (development of a waste management plan, including recycling, waste-to-energy, and best management practices)[...].
