GHG emissions reduction targets: 
The Strategy defines measures to ensure by 2030 the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by up to 70 percent compared to the 1990 level, taking into account the maximum possible absorbing capacity of forests and other ecosystems and subject to sustainable and balanced socio-economic development of the Russian Federation, and also determines the directions and measures for development with low greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. --- Indicators of emissions and removals of greenhouse gases: Target (intensive) scenario. 2019 actual (million tons of carbon dioxide equivalent). GHG emissions: 2119. GHG absorption: -535. Net GHG emissions: 1584. 2030 forecast (million tons of carbon dioxide equivalent). GHG emissions: 2212. GHG absorption: -539. Net GHG emissions: 1673. 2050 forecast (million tons of carbon dioxide equivalent). GHG emissions: 1830. GHG absorption: -1200. Net GHG emissions: 630.
Governance
National policy structure: 
The target for the Russian economy until 2030, as a result of the implementation of structural measures of state policy aimed at achieving national development goals, is to achieve sustainable growth at rates above the world average (i.e., at least 3 percent) while maintaining macroeconomic stability.
