♻️ Will a greener economy be more just?
In 2007-2008, America’s political lexicon acquired a new term – the Green New Deal. Like the New Deal of President Franklin D. Roosevelt reanimated the US economy after the Great Depression, the Green New Deal was supposed to respond to the challenges that faced the world due to climate change. The discussion of this resumed with renewed force a decade later when the Green Wing began to take shape in the Democratic Party. In February 2019, a draft resolution on the Green New Deal was sent to the US Senate. It suggested bringing greenhouse emissions in the US to zero within a decade. The main ideas aimed at reaching this goal were renunciation of fossil fuels and an increase in resource efficiency. Even though the ideas in the bill enjoyed support from a number of prominent Democrats, the Senate vote was a heavy defeat for its initiators. It became obvious that America was not yet ready for the Green New Deal, even at the declaration level.
Meanwhile, the positions of Green parties were growing stronger in Europe. In May 2019, they achieved impressive success in the European Parliament (EP) elections. Ursula von der Leyen, who was elected President of the European Commission in July, made the climate agenda a priority. The document, The European Green Deal, was published on December 11, ten days after she assumed office. The stated goal is to make the EU climate neutral with net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. The EU will move towards this goal by shifting to renewable energy sources for electricity generation, increasing housing energy efficiency and creating “smart infrastructure.” The price tag for the programme is a trillion euros in the first decade. The symbolic significance is as follows: the EU declares itself a global leader in promoting the climate agenda and sets new standards for cooperation between the state, business and society in countering climate change.
In the next few years it will implement a large-scale programme under which companies that use green technology will be entitled to billions in subsidies whereas those that do not comply with toughening environmental demands will have to sustain both financial and market losses.
🌱Recently we launched a new project “Climate and Politics”. The second part of it will discuss the impact of the green agenda on businesses.

Why a Greener Economy Will Hardly Be More Just
How the climate agenda is changing world politics and our lives
🧊🌳Climate change is one of the greatest challenge of this century.
Climate change had ushered wide range of environmental challenges and affected our economic and social systems. These impacts of climate change are likely to become more severe over next few decades and thus collective efforts to build a resilience system at global and national levels are required.
1️⃣ Firstly, we need to adapt to natural climate variations as well as long-term climate change by improving delivery of basic climate products and services.
2️⃣ Secondly, the concentration of CO2 is now 410 ppm, which is almost 30 percent higher than at any time during past 800,000 years and hence urgent global actions are required for its mitigation.
3️⃣ Another aspect: we need to keep in mind is that the warming is causing release of methane from permafrost of Arctic, Greenland and Tibetan Plateau and likely to further increase temperature of the world which in turn will lead to more thawing, in a feedback loop.
The knowledge about climate change has been quite sound, however, our understanding about its impacts on water resources, agriculture and health, etc. is still limited.

Climate change is one of the greatest challenge of this century. The climate system of the Earth behaves as a single, interlinked and self-regulating system. The mass and energy transfer between and among its components; atmosphere, ocean, geosphere, cryosphere…
♻️🌐 Green Transformation: Saving the Planet or Economic Competition?
On April 22, the Valdai Club discussed #climatechange, carbon regulation and the development of hydrogen energy. The discussion, titled Global Greening: A Threat or New Opportunities for Russia and the World? coincided with the online Leaders Summit on Climate Change.
🔹 Nuritdin Inamov, Assistant to the Minister of Natural Resources and Environment of the Russian Federation, identified two components of climate change as a global problem - objective and subjective, saying that the latter were associated with attempts by individual governments to use environmental issues to pursue political objectives other than protecting nature. In this regard, according to him, equal but differentiated responsibility is important.
🔹 Anatol Lieven, Senior Research Fellow at the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, noted that participants of the Summit limit themselves to general words and aren’t making clear commitments despite the threat which global warming creates for human civilisation.
🔹 Nikolay Durmanov, Special Representative for Biological and Environmental Security at the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation, noted that, contrary to popular belief, reducing greenhouse gas emissions alone will not solve the problem of global warming. This underscores the particular importance of forestry and agricultural projects aimed at absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, which are usually underestimated.
🔹 Christoph Van Agt, Director of Energy Dialogue at the International Energy Forum, highlighted the tremendous historic opportunities associated with the green transformation that opened up in 2020 and expressed hope that the Leaders Summit will lead to greater international climate solidarity.
🔹 Mikhail Kuznetsov, Director of the Federal Autonomous Scientific Institution “Eastern State Planning Centre”, said that climate responsibility is extremely important, regardless of its political and competitive aspects, which inevitably arise when anything is discussed. It is necessary to understand that it is impossible to divide peoples and countries into losers and winners from climate change - its consequences are too unpredictable.

🌳🏦 In a post-industrial society, industrial development has ceased to be a determining factor. The digital economy and the service economy take first place. Much attention is paid to the impact of the economy on society and the environment.
An economy that aims to achieve sustainable development goals is called “green”. A green economy is based on renewable energy sources, “green hydrogen” and environmentally friendly transport. You can find out what benefits and challenges the green economy can bring to humanity in our infographic.
Session 4 “The Environment: Russia’s Response to a Common Challenge” of the 18th Annual Meeting of the Valdai Discussion Club will be dedicated to the principles and guidelines of the Russian climate policy. It will take place on the third day of the Conference and will be held under the Chatham House Rule. An analytical note following the day’s discussions will be available on our website.

🏭♻️ The energy transition is likely to have significant geopolitical consequences. It will cause a shift of power away from fossil fuel producers.
Moreover, the new geopolitics of energy will be increasingly determined by issues such as access to green technologies, rare earth materials, power lines and storage capacity. International cooperation, including between the EU and Russia, can lead to mutually advantageous outcomes and help tackle the climate crisis, writes Marco Siddi, Montalcini Assistant Professor, University of Cagliari and Associate Senior Research Fellow, Finnish Institute of International Affairs, participant at the 18th Annual Meeting of the Valdai Discussion Club.

👋 Dear friends! Today is the third day of the 18th Annual Meeting of the Valdai Club, titled “Global Shake-Up in the 21st Century: The Individual, Values, and the State”.
📆 October 20, Wednesday — Programme
All today's sessions will be held under the Chatham House Rule. An analytical note following the day’s discussions will be available on our website.
10:00–11:30 — Session 4. The Environment: Russia’s Response to a Common Challenge
The climate has become a leitmotif of world politics, and Russia is no exception. The country is actively discussing how Russia will participate in global efforts to counter climate change. Another thing is also clear – these efforts are widespread, but not universal. Each state or groups of states will try to use the environmental and climatic topic in the interests of restructuring their own economy and maintaining competitiveness. But this does not negate the global nature of the challenge and the interest in solving it for all countries without exception. The session is dedicated to the principles and guidelines of the Russian climate policy.
12:00–13:30 — Meeting with the Mayor of Moscow Sergey Sobyanin
15:00–16:30 — Session 5. What to Fight for? Intellect as the Prime Object of Competition in the 21st Century
What is the main asset in the 21st century that is being fought for? At different times, these were territories, mineral deposits, labour force, transport routes, sometimes even ideological orientations. Now there is a battle for technological primacy, which means intellect, information and the ability to innovate in the broadest sense: from socio-cultural to military. What is the content of this truly "hybrid", nonlinear competition?
17:00–18:30 — Session 6. Russia and the World: The National Idea in a Global Context
The world is undergoing a socio-cultural transformation. The time of universal ideologies is over, while cultural and ethical pluralism in the international arena is a reality. A purely economic approach, when profit is the criterion of success, does not work. Technology raises thorny questions about human existence. Within the Western world, value-based approaches are becoming more radical, if not revolutionary. China is systematically promoting its culture. In Russia, a discussion is unfolding about the philosophy of development of the country and the world, here it is customary to call it the national idea. How does Russia see the processes of ideological transformation of the world? How does it compare to our values? And what contribution is the country ready to make to world progress?
19:30–21:00 — Special Session. Thirty Years of a New Eurasia – Results and Prospects
Thirty years after the USSR collapse, the countries that emerged on its ruins mark this anniversary in different ways. One thing unites them: everyone is entering a new stage of development. A radical change in the international context, changes in the structure of societies, a change in political generations ... On the one hand, Eurasia is no longer a single "Post-Soviet Space"; different countries and regions have their own paths. On the other hand, it is precisely this circumstance that clearly emphasized how active interaction is necessary for countries and regions to solve problems - not general ones, but those of their own.

📆 ANNOUNCEMENT: On November 18, at 10:30 Moscow time (GMT+3), the Valdai Club will host an expert discussion on the results of COP26, titled “From Paris to Glasgow: The Victory of Scepticism or Real Progress?”
The 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference, also known as COP26, has ended in Glasgow. The purpose of the conference was to summarise the results of the five-year period since the adoption of the climate agreements in Paris. According to the representatives of the Western countries, it was supposed to become a “moment of truth” for the whole world. At the same time, the conference was doomed to fail according to many experts, who argued that given the current economic conditions and pandemic-driven crisis it was impossible to achieve the intended goals — first of all, to prevent the temperature rising on Earth to more than 1.5º C above pre-industrial levels.
However, the conference decided to stop deforestation and reduce methane emissions by 30% by 2030. However, not all countries agreed with these proposals. The developing nations are most challenged by new green initiatives. Some of them are experiencing instability and armed conflict, making it difficult for them to adapt to climate change.
For Russia, the topic of climate change is more important than ever. In a video message to the participants of this year’s G20 summit, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the average annual temperature in Russia is growing faster than average global temperatures. Russia has already joined the countries committed to achieving carbon neutrality by the middle of this century, making efforts to introduce “green” principles to the economy.
❓What are the general results of the conference? Did it really contribute to the fight against climate change?
❓What are the current forecasts regarding the achievement the goals agreed upon Paris in 2015?
❓Why is the world still divided over how to combat climate change? Is it surmountable?
These and other questions will be answered by the participants in the discussion.
👥 Speakers:
🇷🇺 Ruslan Edelgeriev, Special Representative of the President of the Russian Federation on Climate Issues
🇷🇺 Alexey Kokorin, Director of the Climate and Energy Program, WWF Russia
