Decarbonisation prospects for the Russian economy

Abstract

The problems of reducing the emission of gases harmful to nature into the Earth's atmosphere remain relevant. One of the important areas of environmental activity is the decarbonisation of the economy, the consistent regulation of carbon dioxide emissions. At the same time, the process goes beyond the scope of ecological and economic activity, acquiring a geo-economic and geopolitical character. The article considers the sectoral features of carbon regulation in Russia, assesses the vectors of the impact of decarbonisation on individual industries, and determines the scale of influence. An assessment of the dynamics of selected industries was carried out. The case of one of the regions shows the potential impact of the European carbon regulation in the horizon until 2023.
