RUSSIA'S GHG EMISSIONS 70%

RUSSIA'S GHG EMISSIONS 70%

ENERDATA  - 27 Nov 2020 - Russia has submitted its first Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). By 2030, the country aims to limit greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to 70% of their 1990 level (3.1 GtCO2eq), corresponding to a 30% cut in GHG emissions over the 1990-2030 period. Earlier in November 2020, the Russian president had signed a decree ordering the government to work towards a cut in GHG emissions to 70% of their 1990 level by 2030, taking into account the maximum possible absorptive capacity of forests. Since Russia's GHG emissions (including forests) have nearly halved since 1990, reaching 1.6 GtCO2eq in 2018, this decree would allow the country to significantly increase GHG emissions by 2030.

Russia ratified the Paris agreement on climate change in September 2019. Russia's energy-related CO2 emissions in 2019 were around 20% below their 1990 level, at around 1 750 MtCO2. Russia's Intended Nationally Determined Contribution (INDC), unveiled in 2015, aimed to limit GHG emissions to 70-75% against 1990 levels by 2030.
