Business programme

Despite geopolitical risks, Russia remains steadfast in its pursuit of technological sovereignty and the advancement of its industrial technology. Moreover, it is actively implementing an agenda to address climate change, aligning with its low greenhouse gas emission socio-economic development strategy until 2050, and actively participating in the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). A key focus has been the harmonization of domestic green standards with international norms, particularly in countries such as India and China. Central to this endeavour is the policy of technological sovereignty, accompanied by the establishment of mechanisms to promote the adoption of the most cutting-edge technologies that align with the green agenda. Can the pursuit of technological sovereignty align with a green agenda? How does carbon regulation contribute to maintaining Russia's leading position in global climate projects and green business initiatives, including benefits, subsidies, and other incentives? What role does the government play in developing low-carbon industrial technologies, and who determines the specific climate and technology requirements at the national, regional, and sectoral levels? How can domestic industries thrive within the constraints of the climate agenda? What should be the foundation of the Russian carbon market – domestic low-carbon technologies, cross-border collaboration, or a focus on the international carbon price? Assessing the progress and requirements for the sustainable development of the Sakhalin experiment. How does the utilization of model taxonomy criteria facilitate funding for "green" projects of EAEU member states within the climate agenda?
