Mongolia has already set a national target under SDG Target 15.3, measured by Indicator 15.3.1: Proportion of land that is degraded over total land area. The country aims to restore not less than 70 per cent of degraded land and decrease the area of desertified land to 60 per cent of total territory by 2030. The 2012 Law on Soil Protection and Desertification Prevention provides guidance to prevent soil damage and soil fertility decline from desertification, and mechanisms to prevent soil erosion. The 2010 National Action Programme to Combat Desertification 2010-2020 outlines the priorities and associated measures for combating desertification. Mongolia has a network for monitoring land degradation and desertification under the Ministry of Environment and Tourism.
