The topic of this issue is climate change and Russia. Firstly, Vladimir Otrachshenko and Olga Popova point out that Russia is a key partner in global efforts on mitigating the adverse impacts of climate change, but they are skeptical whether the Russian population and the Russian economy can adapt to the steadily increasing influence of global warming. Secondly, Marianna Poberezhskaya discusses climate change discourse in Russia. She observes that such discourse at the national level has been limited and delayed.
