30 per cent below the 1990 level (UNFCCC, 2015). It is an economy-wide target and includes all greenhouse gases.
The INDC of the Russian Federation states that “Limiting anthropogenic greenhouse gases in Russia to 70-75% of 1990 levels by the year 2030 might be a long-term indicator, subject to the maximum possible account of absorbing capacity of forests”. This implies reducing emissions by 25-
Study estimates diverge significantly on future emission trends under the current policy trajectory and under the INDC. This is due primarily to different assumptions on accounting of LULUCF emissions.
