Russian Federation’s emission reduction target
The Russian Federation communicated a target within the range of a 15–25 per cent emission reduction by 2020 compared with 1990 levels. The range of its GHG emission reductions will depend on the following conditions: (a) Appropriate accounting of the potential of its forestry sector in the context of its contribution to meeting the obligations of anthropogenic emission reductions; (b) The undertaking by all major emitters of the legally binding obligations to reduce anthropogenic GHG emissions.

Note: The Russian Federation communicated to the secretariat information on its quantified economy-wide emission reduction target in Russian, which can be found on the UNFCCC website. It also provided an unofficial translation of its submission in English and an edited version of this translation is included in this document.
