Intended Nationally Determined Contribution of the Russian Federation contains: (a) targets for limiting greenhouse gas emissions; (b) target directions for the implementation of the global goal on adaptation to climate change; (c) voluntary support for developing countries to achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement; and (d) information on ongoing climate policies. As part of the implementation of the Paris Agreement, the Russian Federation announces a target indicator for limiting greenhouse gas emissions, which provides for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 to 70 percent compared to 1990 levels, taking into account the maximum possible absorption capacity of forests and other ecosystems and subject to a sustainable and balanced social economic development of the Russian Federation. This indicator shows an increasing ambition compared to previous commitments to limit greenhouse gas emissions. In the Russian Federation, a national system of adaptation to climate change is being formed, based on the following principles: (1) a differentiated approach, taking into account: natural-climatic, socio-economic and technological specifics of adaptation of various sectors (spheres) of the economy and regions of the country; effectiveness of adaptation measures at various decision-making levels; varying degrees of readiness of the subjects of climate policy implementation to the development and implementation of adaptation measures; (2) staging and sequence of the planning process, implying the presence of stages in the development and implementation of adaptation plans with their harmonization, synergy of their elements, regular adjustments and additions to them with new elements; (3) the complexity of planning, involving: preventive (proactive) adaptation aimed at reducing the risk of climate change (for example, the construction of flood dams, windbreaks, expansion of drought-resistant crops, etc.); post-crisis adaptation, which provides for minimizing the consequences of the negative impact of specific manifestations of climate change, including emergency situations associated with them (evacuation of the population, elimination of consequences, vaccination, temporary resettlement, and others); adaptation to direct (real and expected) and indirect consequences of climate change for the population, infrastructure and economy; harmonization and integration of adaptation plans (consistency and complementarity of preventive and post-crisis adaptation measures), as well as adaptation plans at the federal and regional levels; planning hierarchy, including the priority of the national plan, the fulfillment of the goals and objectives of which are subordinated to other federal and regional adaptation plans, concretizing and detailing the national plan in the relevant dimensions (sections); monitoring the effectiveness of adaptation measures and their adjustment (if necessary); and proper scientific and technological support for climate change forecasting and climate services.
