MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Russia submitted its climate action plan ahead of the universal climate change agreement expected to be reached in December 2015, the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) said Tuesday.

“Reducing GHG emissions by 25-30% from 1990 levels by 2030 will allow the Russian Federation to step on the path of low-carbon development compatible with the long-term objective of the increase in global temperature below 2 degrees Celsius. This objective can be achieved with efforts of all Parties of the future climate agreement,” Russia’s Intended Nationally Determined Contribution reads.
