Technosphere Safety in Russia by Ensuring Carbon Neutrality in the Face of Climate Change
The ongoing global warming has also affected Russian Federation territory. In 2021, in Russia, the anomaly of the mean annual air temperature was +1.35 °C, with the growth rate of the average annual temperature equal to +0.49 °C/10 years. The reason for this warming is an increase in the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Therefore, in a changing climate, it is necessary to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and reduce their concentration in the atmosphere. To solve this problem in Europe, it is planned to introduce a carbon tax. For this purpose, methods for assessing the carbon footprint are being developed. This problem is relevant for Russia, which supplies Europe with a significant number of energy-intensive products. They consider all stages of the life cycle of products when assessing the carbon footprint, but the absorption capacity of Russian forests, which occupy about 20% of the forest area in the world, is not adequately assessed. In this regard, it becomes necessary to correctly estimate the absorption of carbon dioxide by Russian forests in order to bring industrial production closer to carbon neutral and reduce the carbon tax.
