The key objective of this SDG 7 Road Map2 is to support the Government of Mongolia in assessing whether the existing policies and strategies are well aligned for achieving the SDG 7 and NDCs targets by 2030, and to present a series of options to bridge these gaps. This Road Map presents three core scenarios (business-as-usual (BAU), current policy and Sustainable Development Goal scenarios) that have been developed using national data, which consider existing energy policies and strategies and reflect on other development plans.

This Road Map also investigates two ambitious scenarios; the Sustainable Heating by 2030 scenario examines the pathways for Mongolia to transition to a heating system with increased use of sustainable energy sources, as well as to achieve its conditional NDC targets; and the Toward Net Zero Emissions by 2050 scenario offers policymakers a strategic viewpoint on how Mongolia could plan for a carbon-free energy sector in alignment with the global race to net zero carbon.
