Position Paper on sustainable Development
Committee: United Nations Environment programme
Topic: Adoption of sustainable development in developing countries.
Country: Russian Federation
Delegate: Rudolph Peter, Sishu Griha High School
Russian President Vladmir Putin has quoted that,"The country needs a decade of sustainable and calm development and that is the prerequisite for rapid economic growth and technological breakthroughs.”
Russia is one of the biggest exporters of energy and energy resources in the world. However, the development of the clean renewable energy technologies is still at the preliminary stage. Looking at the Russia’s stars for base and current year, one can see the decrease of the star’s area. It is caused by reduction of carbon and energy related pollutants. Other indicators remained almost the same. However, the decrease in GHG and polluting gases emissions is not caused by the country meeting sustainability goals, but by a general decrease in energy production in Russia after 1990. Russia has only started to revive after a deep economic crisis which it inherited from the Soviet Union. Russia is still far from reaching the sustainability goals set by SEW on carbon emissions, ambient pollutant emissions, energy productivity, investments in clean energy and renewable energy deployment.
Russia performs poorly on the indicators for carbon emissions per capita, energy intensity, deployment of clean and renewable energy technologies and investments into clean energy technologies. The increase in GDP and energy production after 2000 led to the respective increase of GHG emissions and pollution. The negative impact on the environment is increasing. All these factors present a big problem for achieving sustainability.
Russia is signatory to several policy documents like the – Energy Strategy, Ecological Doctrine, Concept of Sustainable development, Concept of National Security, Kyoto Protocol commitments etc.
Russia has taken several measures to combat the above problems. The
