Russia to use land sink to cover up growing emissions, EU must lead by example
The new Climate Doctrine of Russia, approved by the presidential decree on October 26, 2023, indicates that the country will increase greenhouse gas emissions in the near future. The doctrine repeats the goal formulated by the presidential decree of November 4, 2020 “On reducing greenhouse gas emissions” - to limit emissions by 2030 to not more than 2.2 billion tons of CO2 equivalent, which is almost 1.5 times more than Russia’s emissions in 2020 (1.5 billion tons).
