This briefing paper addresses Russia's reluctance to accept binding greenhouse gas emission reduction commitments under the post-2012 regime that will succeed the Kyoto Protocol. According to the author, the Protocol was never seen as an environmental pact in Russia, but rather as a means of gaining economic and political benefits. She explains that the main reason for Russia's reluctance is economic growth, which is expected to automatically lead to increased greenhouse gas emissions.
