Abstract

Global decarbonization i.e. The global transition to low-carbon development is a response to global climate change caused by anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions into the atmosphere. The goal of decarbonization is to reduce, and ideally eliminate, these emissions, thereby mitigating (slowing down) climate change and minimizing the damage it causes. The realization of this goal will have a most serious impact on the economy of the world and Russia. The changes will affect the energy sector, transport, construction, industry and agriculture. The requirements for land and forest management will become more stringent. One of the outcomes of the transition to low-carbon development will be a reduction in the demand for fossil fuels and an increase in the role of renewable and other green energy sources. In the recently adopted Strategy for Russia’s Economic Security, the change in the structure of world demand for energy resources, the development of energy-saving and green technologies are classified as the main challenges and threats to the country’s economic security. However, these trends are considered in the strategy without linking to global actions to mitigate climate change and with the achievement of established goals to limit the increase in average temperature within limits that exclude catastrophic consequences for nature and humans. This creates the danger of misinterpreting these trends as harmful or even malicious, directed against the interests of Russia, while in fact they are objective and reflect the desire for the common good.
