2 Outline of the presentation S4 1 slide is on approaches in integrating EPR & SOM: feedback loops and implementation cycles Contents of SOM are presented in the following three slides: 1 slide Chapter 1: on SD Aspirations in Mongolia 2 slide Chapter 2:on SDGs baseline status for SOM and prospects of customised indicators 3 slide Chapter 3: on Analysis of the thematic areas of crosssectorial interventions and relations and commitments to international agreements, using cluster of SDGs. Analysis of selected systems maps

3 Integrating EPR, SOM and Pathways (feedback loops and implementation cycles) National Vision Commitments to MEAs & SDGs Guiding Questions for EPR and SOM Starting Point Situation analysis for EPR & SOM Current strategies, policies, regulations for EPR + SOM Baseline data for SDGs and 3MEAs SOM + Pathways scenario, based on EPR&SEA tools Set up Monitoring & Evaluation Mechanisms through application of Remote Sensing and Spatial Planning Tools SOM and Pathways with a Feedback Loop (Monitoring and Evaluation Mechanism) Implementation framework Targets, Responsible Groups Indicators of Progress Accountability mechanisms

4 Session 4: SOM Chapter 1 Chapter 1: Sustainable Development Aspirations of Mongolia: This chapter describes the overview of the government s long-term vision and objectives for sustainable development on the basis of its key strategies and policies, commitments to MEAs and proposes alignment with a newly defined medium-term goals and targets, namely: Mongolia s 2030 Sustainable Development Vision Commitments to MEAs Green Development Strategy Law on Development Policy and Planning Overview of the analytical framework used for SOM

5 Session 4: SOM Chapter 2 Chapter 2: SDGs baseline status for SOM and prospects of customised indicators: This chapter provides the Mongolian SDG status of 2017, both qualitative and quantitative based on existing data and methodology, including, but not limiting to: 2.1 Insights 2.2 Hot Spots 2.3 Bright Spots 2.4 Emerging issues 2.5 Interventions and recommendations for the way forward within each SDG The chapter would be illustrating the current institutional frameworks that are potentially supporting the SDG s implementation process and describing the relevant inter-ministerial mechanisms and frameworks.

6 Session 4: SOM Chapter 3 Chapter 3: Analysis of the thematic areas of cross-sectorial interventions and relations and commitments to international agreements, using cluster of SDGs. Analysis of systems maps. Overview of the selected systems maps at goal and target level and description of the policy leverage points of multiple impacts (macro-perspectives) The focus: to ensure collaboration between priority sectors, that are already identified by Mongolia in current laws and policies, aligned with SDGs, including: Agriculture (Land), Natural Resource Based Industry; Mining (Energy); Tourism and Green Finance; Water Management Sector, etc. The objective: present the key linkages and interactions of the goals and targets with specific clusters of SDG targets included, as well as objectives/targets of the Paris Agreement (NBAP, and other MEAs) Case study on Water Resource Management and Agriculture, developed after the scenario planning walk through at the end of November (UNDP to lead with the Stockholm Environment Institute facilitation of the Water Resource Management and ESCAP facilitation of the Agriculture scenario planning).

7 Session 4: Development of a Work Plan for SOM with Data Support in ESCAP contributes to SOM 2017, led by MET in collaboration with NDA, NSO, other ministries and UNDP. SOM would include: (a) SDG baseline and data visualization (SOM Chapter 2); (b) Analysis of four thematic areas of cross-sectorial interventions in relation to commitments to international agreements, using clusters of SDGs ( SOM Chapter 3). This would also include the land and water management systems at macro level and analysis of agricultural sector, in particular, using systems thinking approach supported by data. (b) Peer review of draft SOM prepared by national experts by MET, NSO, NDA and partner agencies (in December) (c) Methodology for development of scenarios of pathways for implementation of internationally agreed commitments (by the end of November) with examples in agriculture sector (with inputs from NDA) and water management system (with inputs from UNDP team). This methodology could be used by other sectors and countries to develop countries sustainability outlooks in the region. 2.ESCAP in collaboration with UNEP will support MET in 2018, including: (a) development of environmental data, statistics and indicators for SDGs (b) capacity building to address the gaps
