With quite small domestic emissions, the countries of Central Asia and Caucasus are among those that already suffer the most from climate change. On the other hand, big emitters Russia, Ukraine and Belarus have great potential of reducing emissions. Russia is the world’s third largest emitter of greenhouse gases, and the direction of their climate policy is of global importance. Norges Naturvernforbund works together with local NGOs and international networks in order to increase information levels, and create attention and political pressure for good climate solutions in Eastern Europe.

    Russian NGOs comment and criticize strategic tasks for Russia set in the President’s article on September 10

    On September 10, the Russian President Dmitry Medvedev published an article about national strategic tasks. In it, among five strategic vectors of economic modernization, he named securing the leading role of Russia in efficiency of energy production, transportation and consumption, development and putting to the international market new types of fuel, and development of nuclear technologies. Russian NGOs are sure that Russia must abandon nuclear energy and set a goal to reduce risks of negative impact of technogenic climate change as a priority. Now Russian policy shows no practical steps towards efficient low-carbon energy sector.
