The decree signed by Putin requires Russia to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 65-67% compared to 1990, but allows a 20% increase by 2021. Environmental activists consider these targets insufficient in the fight against climate change. Despite the commitment to reach zero net emissions by 2060, Russia remains dependent on fossil fuels, and experts criticize the use of 1990 as a baseline for emissions cuts.
