Abstract:Relevance. Long-term energy demand projection has been for years an essential task facing researchers. The complexity involved in making such projection is due to the ever-growing uncertainty and variability of the factors and trends shaping this demand. The present study is a relevant contribution to the literature because it addresses Russia transition to a low-carbon development…

Climate Warming and Arctic Coastline Erosion at Tiksi, Laptev Sea, Yakutia, Russia: A Study on Shoreline Changes and Future Projections
Abstract This research examines coastal erosion along the Arctic shoreline at Tiksi in the Lena River Delta under significant impacts of a warming climate. Climate warming, characterized by elevated surface temperatures, has accelerated the melting of ground ice and exacerbated coastal erosion. Despite extensive studies on Arctic coastal dynamics, considerable gaps remain in understanding local…
Streamflow and sediment dynamics affected by precipitation events and land use changes in the heavily urbanized small catchment of Moscow megacity
Moscow megacity is experiencing the largest net population growth in Russia and across Europe, resulting in significant climatic and hydrological changes of the small rivers. High-frequency (30-min) automatic streamflow and sediment monitoring with turbidity sensors was performed in 2019-2024 across the Setun River-the major tributary of the Moskva River, with a 190 km2 catchment area….
Agroclimatic Monitoring and Current Trends in Agroclimatic Resources in Neighboring Regions of Russia and Kazakhstan
Abstract This article presents the results of monitoring agroclimatic resources in the main grain-producing adjacent regions of Russia and Kazakhstan for the period from 1976 to 2024. The monitoring is carried out on the basis of the Climate–Soil–Yield simulation system using surface air temperature and total precipitation with a monthly resolution. The estimates are obtained…
Predicting Russian cold and heat stress with the Universal Thermal Climate Index
Bioclimatic Zoning of Russia Using the Universal Thermal Climate Index in Present and Future Climates Based on the Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI), an assessment of bioclimatic conditions in Russia at the beginning and middle of the 21st century has been conducted. Winter and summer features of the UTCI are examined under the present (2000–2022)…
Climate Risks and the Rural Population of the Russia’s European North
Abstract The article, based on the materials of a sociological study conducted in summer 2022 in the Primorsky district of Arkhangelsk oblast, examines the impact of climate change on the livelihoods of the rural population of Russia’s European North. Data on climate change in the Primorsky district are presented. It has been shown that against…
Conspiracies as one of the dangers of online climate change communication
Abstract – Marianna Poberezhskaya’s chapter from the Routledge Handbook on Climate Crisis Communication The internet has allowed an unrestricted number of actors to challenge the scientific community’s ownership of climate change knowledge and become active “popularisers” and even (co-)creators of that knowledge. In some cases, this has led to positive outcomes as complex climate science…
Changes in Surface Climate (Air Temperature and Precipitation) on the Territory of Russia in the 21st Century
Abstract The changes in the main climate variables that determine the atmospheric hydrological cycle and the hydrological regime of land (surface air temperature and precipitation) are considered for the first decades of the 21st century, as well as in comparison with the most significant changes during the 20th century. Regional changes in seasonal climate statistics…
Comparing Green Smart Cities in Russia and China
In full (RU) Abstract: With the in-depth development of Big Data and artificial intelligence, as well as the strengthening of the concept of green and low-carbon development, a new concept has emerged in the system of urban functioning — “green smart city”. Currently, the level of urbanization and urban development in Russia and China is…
Trends and prospects for the development of a national model climate legislation from the Russian Federation
Abstract: The article identifies the main gaps and conflicts of the climate legislation of Russia, examines the ways to solve them and trends in the development of judicial practice to protect the climate rights of citizens. For the first time, the authors developed the category “conditions for the implementation of climate policy”, which represents legal…
