Comparative Analysis of Carbon Neutrality Strategies in Russia and China

Abstract

The article examines and analyzes in detail the plans and strategies for achieving carbon neutrality in Russia and China, in particular and jointly, within the framework of modern socio-­economic theories. It is concluded that despite the strong carbon dependence, the Russian Federation and China are actively taking measures to overcome it, since this meets the requirements of modern times, namely, the countries formulate environmental goals in the context of their economic activities. The author studies the prospects for joint projects to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and in the long term, to bring them to zero. Such prospects include the creation of a common carbon market, the exchange of innovative technologies in the energy sector, in particular in the field of renewable energy sources, as well as mutual control over gas emissions into the atmosphere.
