POSITION ON THE REDUCTION OF FOSSIL FUELS AND AIR POLLUTION OF THE

RUSSIAN FEDERATION

Greetings again fellow delegates, I the representative of the Russian

Federation, wish to speak to the General Assembly. As we all know, global warming
is a threat not only to humanity but to all living beings in Earth. As Russia
acknowledges this problem, we ratified the Kyoto Protocol a few years ago; we
allowed this procedure to get into effect, as we believe Kyoto won’t hit our national
economy.

The Russian people and the world, we all benefit from this major decision
made by former President Vladimir Putin on November 4th 2004. Although some of
our industries will suffer from the new measures and will place us in disadvantage
compared to other countries that doesn’t have this restrictions. Nevertheless the
economic gain can be spare by the sell of emissions credits to European Countries,
and for Easter European countries that now will buy energy from us in order to
keep down their greenhouse gases emissions.

In conclusion, the Russian Federation is in favor of reducing air pollution and

greenhouse gases, that not only damage the environment, it also threatens life on
Earth as we know it. If we don’t act soon and take a major role in the situation as
Russia has done, possibly we will not live for another 1000 years.

BRIEF HISTORY AND ECONOMIC RESEARCH ABOUT

RUSSIA IN THIS RUBRIC

While being the second largest empire the Earth has seen, and
by far the largest country in the World, Russia’s attitudes toward the
subject have a major impact in this planet.
While the Soviet Union existed, the former Russian Republic
was the nation that polluted the most of all United Republics, and
second Ukraine, this is indeed, because the population was more
concentrated in this places than in others. De facto, factories
established there and development rise in the mentioned republics,
the discovery of vast oil and natural gas reserve fuel the progress in
the Caspian and Black Sea area, all this causing major soil, water and
air pollution.
After the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, everything in Russia
fell: economy, power and CO2 gas emissions. With the vision of a new
era for the Motherland, former President Vladimir Putin tried to raise
the knocked down economy of Russia with the right foot by signing
the Kyoto Protocol in 2004. He reassured the responsibility of
companies and factories had to the world. His administration is a role
model in this subject, setting the example to follow in developing
nations. The creation of pollutant restrictions to power energy plants
and high contaminant factories had led to a Russia’s healthy
atmosphere and an improvement to the quality of air in the major
urban areas.
