Climate Doctrine of the Russian Federation

Last updated

The Climate Doctrine of the Russian Federation documents the state policy of the Russian Federation towards climate change. Taking into account the strategic guidelines of the Russian Federation,[ clarification needed ] the Doctrine is the basis for the formation and implementation of climate policy. [1] It represents a system of views on the purpose, principles, content and ways of implementing the unified state policy of the Russian Federation in the country and in the international arena on issues related to climate change and its consequences. The document was approved by the order of the President of the Russian Federation on December 17, 2009. [2]

[5] The necessity of a response due to the inevitability of climate change was repeated by Arkady Dvorkovich, Assistant to the Head of State, at a special press conference on the day of signing the document: "according to the opinion of our scientists, which is reflected in the climate doctrine, the share of human influence on climate change remains difficult to calculate. Much of the climate change is related to global long-term trends, and whatever we do, it is likely that some changes will continue due to natural causes, so we will have to take action." [6]

Practical implementation measures
