10.6. Russia supports efforts to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions. At the same time, in accordance with the fundamental principles of the UNFCCC and the Paris Agreement, each country has the right to independently choose the optimal model for the "green" transformation of the economy and production processes, as well as the pace, mechanisms and tools for achieving the climate goals. Russia advocates for the use of a wide range of measures to reduce emissions and reduce anthropogenic impact on the climate, such as increasing energy efficiency and energy saving measures, improvement of production processes, developing energy with low greenhouse gas emissions including renewable energy sources, increasing the efficiency of using ecosystems (including increasing their absorptive capacity), introducing new clean technologies, as well as the introduction of technologies for carbon capture, storage and removal from the atmosphere.

10.8. Formation of carbon regulation is considered to be an important area of work within the framework of achieving low–carbon development. In this regard, the Federal Law of 2 July 2021 No. 296-FZ "On limiting greenhouse gas emissions" was adopted. This regulatory act has introduced a requirement for the economic entities to provide mandatory reporting in the case of the annual gross emissions exceeding 150 thousand tons of CO2 e.q., up until 2025, and 50 thousand tons of CO2 e.q., starting from 2025. In addition, a basis for the implementation of voluntary climate projects and the respective circulation of carbon credits issued based on the results of such projects, is also being created.

10.9. A draft federal law "On the establishment of the experimental special regulation on emissions and absorption in certain Subjects of the Russian Federation" is currently awaiting approval from the Government of the Russian Federation. The Sakhalin Region will be the first region to conduct this experiment. The experiment provides for the greenhouse gas emission quotas at the enterprise level. The goal is to achieve carbon neutrality in the region by the end of 2025.
