Abstract

The transition to the “green” model of the economy is a complex strategic task that requires a combination of two development vectors: maintaining dynamic economic growth and long-term preservation of the natural environment. One of the key directions for resolving existing environmental problems is associated with decarbonization and improving the eco-friendliness of vehicles. Almost all the world’s automobile corporations are actively developing electric transport technologies and launching an increasing number of new models into mass production, offering alternative fuel sources. This paper investigates trends in the greening of the global automotive industry, the resulting threats and risks of the development of the national automotive industry, identifies the reasons for the environmental instability of the Russian automotive industry.

This paper investigates trends in the greening of the global automotive industry, the resulting threats and risks of the development of the national automotive industry, identifies the reasons for the environmental instability of the Russian automotive industry
The main reasons for the weak development of the electric vehicle market are the lack of local modern developments in the field of light electric vehicles, the lack of proper charging infrastructure, government stimulation of consumer demand, and high prices for electric vehicles

Summary

Introduction

Global climate change is recognized as one of the key challenges of the 21st century. A climate agreement setting the goal of preventing temperatures from rising by more than 2° C (and, if possible, no higher than 1.5° C) compared to the pre-industrial period was signed in Paris in December 2015. The Paris Agreement assigns a major role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions to states. Most states are responding to climate challenges and threats by moving to a sustainable development trajectory with low CO2 emissions. In this regard, the issues of regulation of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions are being updated. The topic of carbon regulation for Russia has become relevant after the EU plans to introduce a cross-border carbon levy. The potential losses of Russian exports from its actions may amount to up to 50 billion euros by 2030 [1]
