Russia in the System of International Climate Regulation
https://doi.org/10.53658/RW2025-4-3(17)-79-92
Abstract
The article is devoted to the study of trends and results of climate regulation at the present stage of management. The author presents retrospective data characterizing increased attention to issues of climate change in the world and Russia’s integration into these processes. Indicators of investment in climate projects are analyzed, and a tendency towards their strengthening over recent years is revealed. Research and practical developments aimed at updating methodological and informational bases for assessing and predicting the carbon-sequestering capacity of forests are of particular importance, as well as regulatory documents clarifying calculations of the amount of greenhouse gases absorbed by forests. It can be concluded that the current situation is the result of many years of institutionalization in various aspects of climate control and the establishment of methodological bases for carbon credit certification. Special attention is paid to naturalclimatic and forest-climate projects as key to achieving carbon neutrality. The role of Russia in climate regulation has been considered. It was revealed that a sufficient regulatory framework and system of tools for state support for climate projects have been developed, which ensured the formation of both carbon landfills in the country and participation of business in profitable projects on carbon markets. To ensure carbon neutrality more effectively, it is necessary to make methodological changes to regulatory documents. Conclusion is drawn about the prospects for implementing forest climate projects, both internationally and in Russia, taking into account emerging new opportunities for highquality carbon circulation.
