ПОТЕНЦИАЛ ЗЕМЕЛЬНЫХ РЕСУРСОВ СУБЪЕКТОВ РФ ДЛЯ ЦЕЛЕЙ РЕАЛИЗАЦИИ ЛЕСОКЛИМАТИЧЕСКИХ ПРОЕКТОВ

Abstract

The decisions of the parties to the Paris Agreement, which were adopted in Glasgow in November 2021, provide for the creation of a single international market for such results achieved - reducing emissions, or increasing their absorption, including from project activities. Equally important, in the context of this decision, is what kind of activities will be carried out within the framework of climate projects based on natural ecosystems (forest climate projects). At the same time, special attention should be paid to the possibility of implementing these projects. In Russia, Federal Law No. 296-FZ “On Limiting Greenhouse Gas Emissions” was adopted, which refers to climate projects, including projects to increase the absorption of greenhouse gases. The article presents the results of the initial study, reflecting the possibility of implementing forest-climatic projects on the territory of the Russian Federation, on the example of the North-Western Federal District, the North Caucasian and Southern Federal Districts taken separately. Regions with both high carbon absorption potential and low potential in terms of the dynamics of their forest management have been identified. Based on the results of the study, the authors made reasoned conclusions about the potential of forest-climatic projects in various regions of the country.
