Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The article explores the legal dimensions of climate security within the framework of Russia’s national security. It examines legislative measures aimed at reducing emissions, including the updated Climate Doctrine. The paper analyzes challenges related to climate adaptation, the influence of international commitments and sanctions, and the importance of independent assessments and technologies. Particular emphasis is placed on the necessity of revising climate policies and developing measures for climate change adaptation to ensure national security. This includes designing and implementing actions to adapt natural, social, and economic systems to current or anticipated climate changes and their impacts, which could significantly damage infrastructure and negatively affect human health and wellbeing. Given the intensifying effects of climate change, federal and regional executive authorities must be prepared with plans to mitigate potential risks or seize opportunities arising from these changes under various scenarios.
