The Russian Security Council is due to meet in the Kremlin today to take up threats, posed by global climate change. President Dmitry Medvedev will preside over the meeting that will focus on action on Russia’s climate doctrine, which was approved in December last year. The Russian leader has repeatedly pointed out that by the year 2020 Russia will have cut down on greenhouse gas discharges by 25% of the 1990 amount via structural change in the economy. Medvedev is also certain that the Kyoto Protocol should be succeeded by a more legally perfect document to regulate international cooperation.
