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…
Climate influence on Russian floods, fuel, forestry and more
Impacts from the annual Arctic 0.5°C increase continue to generate discussion and modelling within the Russian economic community. The researchers wanted to holistically assess the macroeconomic effects of climate change on the Russian economy, using the latest data. They used “a change in Russia’s annual GDP with an increase in the average annual temperature by…
Climate and carrots
Abstract: Purpose: to analyze the prospects of using the drip irrigation method for carrot growing and the scientific justification for its improvement. Discussion. Carrots are a vegetable crop necessary for a healthy human diet. Irrigation is an important aspect of the agricultural sector, which affects the yield of vegetable crops, including carrots. In modern conditions…
Measuring two and a half centuries of Ammonia emissions from the Russian Caucuses
Abstract: Atmospheric ammonia (NH3) is a key transboundary air pollutant that contributes to the impacts of nitrogen and acidity on terrestrial ecosystems. Ammonia also contributes to the atmospheric aerosol that affects air quality. Emission inventories indicate that NH3 was predominantly emitted by agriculture over the 19th and 20th centuries but, up to now, these estimates have…
