After 70 years under a centrally planned economy, Russia illustrates the difficulties of moving from such an economy to a market-based economy. With a budget highly dependent on energy production and export, this has not been a smooth process. Fluctuations in international oil and gas prices have impacted the transition. Over the course of transition, competing priorities have arisen. This has left little for investment in moving to a low-carbon economy. Russia has been able to mitigate pressure from other members of the global community to reduce carbon emissions through use of the 1990 basis for carbon emissions inherited from the USSR. Without outside pressure, current policy minimally emphasizes renewable energy or energy efficiency.

摘要

After 70 years under a centrally planned economy, Russia illustrates the difficulties of moving from such an economy to a market-based economy. With a budget highly dependent on energy production and export, this has not been a smooth process. Fluctuations in international oil and gas prices have impacted the transition. Over the course of transition, competing priorities have arisen. This has left little for investment in moving to a low-carbon economy. Russia has been able to mitigate pressure from other members of the global community to reduce carbon emissions through use of the 1990 basis for carbon emissions inherited from the USSR. Without outside pressure, current policy minimally emphasizes renewable energy or energy efficiency.
