Government Resolution No. 3052-r validating STRATEGY of socio-economic development of the Russian Federation with low greenhouse gas emissions until 2050.

The Strategy defines measures to ensure by 2030 the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions to 70 percent compared to the level of 1990, taking into account the maximum possible absorption capacity of forests and other ecosystems and subject to sustainable and balanced socio-economic development of the Russian Federation, and also determines the directions and measures for development with low greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
The Strategy refers to the strategic planning documents of the Russian Federation, is intersectoral and serves as the basis for the inclusion of state policy measures in the field of limiting greenhouse gas emissions in other strategic planning documents of the Russian Federation, strategies for the socio-economic development of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, state programs of the Russian Federation, state programs of the constituent entities Russian Federation, planning and program-target documents of state corporations, state companies and public companies with state participation. The provisions of the Strategy determine the content of the adaptation of the Russian economy to the global energy transition and the goal-setting of the relevant sectoral and regional adaptation plans.
The Strategy covers sectors of the economy and areas of public administration that are sources of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions and their sinks, and provides for two scenarios for the socio-economic development of the Russian Federation - inertial and target (intensive), which differ in the level of technological development, structural changes (shifts) in the economy, absorbing capacity of natural absorbers and accumulators of greenhouse gases and other effects. The inertial scenario provides for the implementation of decisions already made to achieve national goals and objectives of sectoral strategic planning documents. Additional measures, the direct or indirect result of which is the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, are not considered in this scenario. In turn, the target (intensive) scenario provides for additional measures to decarbonize sectors of the economy and increase the absorbing capacity of managed ecosystems. This scenario considers the global energy transition as one of the factors ensuring the competitiveness of the Russian economy on a global scale.
The evaluation of the implementation of the Strategy is carried out using the following indicators: (a) volumes of total and sectoral greenhouse gas emissions; (b) volume and efficiency of energy production; indicators of energy efficiency in sectors of the economy; (c) indicators characterizing carbon intensity economy; (d) indicators of the involvement of industries and government structures in the implementation of the Strategy; and (e) volume and specific efficiency of investments in emission reduction of greenhouse gases and increased absorption capacity.
