PROSPECTS OF GREEN ENERGY FOR RUSSIA

Abstract

The decisions of the 2022 Conference of the Parties (COP27) revealed the weakness in the development of measures and mechanisms to ensure the effective implementation of the global climate goals enshrined in the Paris Agreement. The development of their nature, content and method of application is still an urgent task and is accompanied by lengthy attempts to reach consensus. The current stage of the implementation of the energy agenda is characterized by the preservation of the requirements for increasing ambitions in the issue of reducing CO2 emissions for both states and businesses, however, in a paradigm that meets exclusively the interests of developed countries from a political and socio-economic point of view. Despite the adoption of new initiatives in the field of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and providing assistance to developing countries to overcome the negative effects of climate change, the key problem at the level of the international community remains the development of uniform norms, standards for reducing emissions, without which achieving the goals of the Paris Agreement is difficult. The problem of so-called ecological neocolonialism remains relevant, expressed in the unwillingness of developing countries to follow the climate policy of developed countries, which does not take into account the peculiarities of development and the specifics of the economies of most countries of the world. It is expected that further joint steps taken to combat climate change, with mandatory greater consideration of the goals and characteristics of socio-economic development of other actors, will contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
