In the report, RSEU experts and partners present the information on the status and the problems of the nuclear industry in Russia, as well as the activities of Rosatom, the nuclear state-owned corporation, in 2022. The report is in Russian and a summary in English is available at the end of the report. 

Intentions of countries to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050-2060 are not supported by concrete actions. The world is on a trajectory of a global temperature increase of 3-3.5⁰C by the end of the century –  it does not meet the goals of the Paris Agreement (PA).

Russian NGOs call on the countries participating in the Conference of the Parties to the UNFCCC to act urgently to phase out for energy purposes by 2030, to reduce sufficiently use of other fossil fuel, to give priority to low-carbon development measures namely the use of renewable energy sources and energy efficiency. Also NGOs call for actions for urgent climate adaptation.

Insufficient efforts by all countries to implement the Paris Agreement resulted in the loss of the best chance to limit global warming by 1.5°C. Experts are now calculating scenarios in which warming limits are temporarily exceeded. However, most of the technologies that bring the global mean temperature down past its peak value are not technologically ready. In addition, their widespread use may hinder achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.

Transport makes a significant share of greenhouse gas emissions. Developed technical solutions for decarbonisation of all types of transport are existing. The timely transport decarbonisation requires urgent and strong action: reducing energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions in transport and moving to carbon-neutral vehicles by 2050.
