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…

Decarbonising economies – Russia, China, Brazil, Germany, Japan, India

All six countries have strategies towards achieving carbon neutrality. The researchers report that they have 44% of global population, 39.2% global GDP, 44.8% primary energy consumption and 49% global CO2 emissions. They note that different views on economic development and energy transition affect an overall international climate outlook from agreements such as Paris 2015. They…
