A Study Of Russian Climate Policy In The Context Of Global Climate Governance

Since the 21 st century,the increasing seriousness of non-traditional security issues has attracted the close attention of all countries.Climate change,because of its longest duration,widest scope and most far-reaching impact,has gradually become the most widely concerned issue in the field of non-traditional security today.As a major power in the international community,Russia’s climate policy is of great importance for global climate governance and cooperation.Russia’s climate policy has unique geopolitical and economic characteristics,especially in terms of Russia’s treatment of traditional energy sources,renewable energy development,and coordinated development of the Arctic and Far East regions.This paper discusses Russia’s current climate policy by reviewing the development of the global climate change governance agenda and Russia’s participation in it,systematically discusses the reasons for the formation of Russia’s climate policy and its main policy features,and further analyzes the impact of the current climate policy and its future direction.Chapter 1,the emergence and development of global climate governance issues.This chapter examines the cognitive process of the global climate issue and the evolution of global climate governance,and elaborates on Russia’s role and advocacy in it.Against the background of the evolving global climate governance agenda,Russia has adjusted its attitude and policy toward global climate change in accordance with its national strategy.Chapter 2,the foundations of Russia’s climate policy.This chapter examines the geopolitical,economic,and political foundations of climate policy formation.The formation of Russia’s climate policy is influenced by various factors,including external threats from the international community and changes in the domestic political landscape,as well as the country’s economic development model.Chapter 3,the main elements of Russia’s climate policy.This chapter examines the three main elements of Russia’s climate policy: protection of the traditional energy economy,selective development of renewable energy sources,and integration of climate policy with regional development.Russia’s current climate policy is characterized by "pragmatic" and "contradictory" features,and the main purpose of its policy implementation is not to solve the climate change problem,but to maintain domestic political and economic stability while actively participating in international cooperation and maintaining its position as a major power in the international community.The main purpose of its policy is not to solve climate change problems,but to maintain domestic political and economic stability,actively participate in international cooperation,and maintain its status as a major power in the international community.Chapter 4,the impact of Russian climate policy.This chapter examines the impact of Russia’s climate policy on global climate governance,on Russia’s position in the energy mix,and on Russia’s domestic economic development.At the global level,the choice and implementation of Russia’s climate policy has a significant impact on the global climate governance process as a major power in the international system,and the adoption of Russia’s climate policy brings new opportunities for the country to improve its position in the energy mix and boost its economic development.Chapter 5,the future trend of Russian climate policy.This chapter examines the future direction of Russia’s climate policy,the obstacles to its implementation,and China-Russia regional cooperation under the influence of climate policy.This chapter predicts the future direction of Russia’s climate policy and the obstacles to its implementation by taking into account the changes in the international community and Russia’s domestic development under the influence of the Russia-Ukraine conflict,and further considers the China-Russia regional cooperation under the influence of the current Russian climate policy.At present,global climate change and energy transition are accelerating,and conflicts and frictions among major powers are ongoing.Against this backdrop,Russia will continue to advance its current policy ideas to address the climate change crisis.The study of Russia’s climate policy will also be of great significance for China to carry out corresponding climate cooperation.
