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…

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…
Spider biodiversity in the Perm Botanical Garden
Spiders (Arachnida: Araneae) of PSU’s Botanical Garden (Perm, Russia) Abstract Background The Botanical Garden of Perm State University was founded in 1916 and has a suitable site for studying urban invertebrate fauna. However, despite this, very few studies have been conducted on this topic over the past 100 years. Only a few individual works on…
Classification of Climate Disputes from the Perspective of International Law
(RU) Abstract The increasing variety of legal relationships in the climate sphere, as well as the specific nature of legal regulation in this area, inevitably leads to disputes between the parties involved – climate disputes. The significant variability of climate disputes across different jurisdictions, on the one hand, makes this type of judicial disputes complex…
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…
What the Asiatic black bear has been getting up to in Far East Russia
Abstract Species’ activity patterns are driven by the need to meet basic requirements such as food, social interactions, movement, and rest. A variety of biotic and abiotic factors often influence these behaviors. From 2011 to 2021 we used camera-trap data to describe and compare the seasonal and daily activity patterns of the relatively poorly studied…
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…
Fire and Logging Decrease Soil CO2 Efflux in Siberian Central Taiga Forests
Abstract Extensive wildfires and logging have affected the Russian boreal forests in recent decades. Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) forests are widespread in Russia and are one of the most disturbed tree species in Siberia. However, the effects of disturbance on soil CO2 efflux in the vast Siberian forests are still poorly understood. We used the LI…
Comparing climate risk across Russian regions
Abstract Climate risks pose a threat to the economy and the society, making their accurate assessment crucial for effective adaptation strategies. However, such estimates are complicated due to incomplete data on the potential risk-related damages. In this study, we apply a simplified heuristic approach using the hazard-exposure-vulnerability framework to assess climate risks in Russia. We…
Sustainable territorial development of Russia as part of the implementation of the ESG agenda
Abstract: Russia, the world’s largest country, is home to diverse ecosystems but faces challenges reconciling economic growth with environmental sustainability. This article analyses the implementation of SDGs in Russia. We conclude that a new modelling approach is needed to evaluate Russia’s spatial, economic, and ecological impacts and to develop sustainability indicators for policy assessment. This…
