Alexander Novak met with the Special Representative for Climate Change of the President of Kenya, Chairman of the African Group of Negotiators Ali Daoud Mohamed
Deputy Prime Minister of Russia Alexander Novak met with the Special Representative for Climate Change of the President of Kenya, Chairman of the African Group of Negotiators within the framework of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) process Ali Daoud Mohamed.
The parties discussed national efforts and international cooperation in implementing the goals of the Paris Agreement to limit global warming and climate change.
The meeting also discussed cooperation in the carbon market, the need to take into account the contribution of forests to absorbing emissions, and the possibility of coordinating the efforts of Russia and African countries in matters of adaptation to climate change.
Alexander Novak stressed the need to implement a smooth transition to a zero-emissions economy with equal access to modern technologies.
“The transition to a low-carbon economy must be fair and take into account various national climate and natural conditions and development priorities. I believe that the transition to zero emissions will be gradual, using a wide range of technologies. Harmonious coexistence of both green and traditional energy, which can complement each other, is necessary. The transition from fossil fuels is not the only way to reduce emissions, but one of the possible ways. A ban on investment in projects related to the use of fossil fuels cannot be the basis for a fair transition,” said Alexander Novak.
The Deputy Prime Minister noted the important role of the transition from coal to natural gas in the process of moving towards carbon neutrality. This allows for a significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and helps to overcome technological gaps.
The meeting participants recognized that any unilateral barriers or artificial restrictions that hinder the achievement of climate goals are inappropriate, since global warming is one of the main challenges for future generations.
Russia has emphasized its commitment to climate issues and intends to continue participating in the international dialogue on combating climate change regardless of the changing course of other countries. In total, Russia has already managed to reduce emissions by almost 70% compared to the 1990 level – this is an absolute record among all countries participating in the international climate agenda.
