Climate change in Russia - statistics & facts
Russia, the fourth-largest emitter of carbon dioxide (CO2) worldwide, is considered to be both suffering and benefitting from climate change. Russia's greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions target of 30 percent below 1990 levels by 2030 was criticized as "critically insufficient" by the non-governmental organization Climate Action Tracker, since that threshold was already met in 2017. The country's CO2 emissions per capita saw an increase between 2000 and 2023.
