He stressed that Russia was the world's fourth or fifth largest emitter, depending on whether the EU was considered a subject or not. So, reduction of emissions is impossible without Russia, Kerry added.
The special envoy noted that it would be fair if other countries, including Russia, join US efforts and make a fair contribution to global efforts to reduce emissions.
Kerry added that he intended to meet again with his Russian counterpart, Ruslan Edelgeriev, before the conference in Glasgow, which was scheduled for this fall.
Forestry, trade, and external mechanisms, areas of cooperation and targets will be discussed at this meeting, Kerry told the Kommersant newspaper.

Russia and the United States have areas for cooperation that could help partially ease tensions, US Special Kerry affirmed.
There are great tasks and challenges in the field of research and development in the field of combating climate change, Kerry said, noting that it was necessary to accelerate the reduction of emissions and the transition to alternative, renewable, sustainable energy.
Russia and the United States will have to work to separate the climate agenda from the agenda of relations between the two countries, and it is possible, the envoy said.
