Several weeks ago, the Government of the Russian Federation approved the taxonomy on “Green Finance”. This provides a transparent and reliable framework for investors looking for financing environmental projects. Furthermore, the authors included “transition projects” in their methodology, referring to industrial projects with lower CO² emissions.

International experts confirmed in Glasgow, that the Russian “Green Finance” taxonomy were in line with international standards. We propose to discuss the Russian framework for “Green Finance” in an international context: Which are the benefits in comparison with the EU taxonomy? How should the regulations be communicated outside the country to attract more international investors for environmental projects in Russia? How could the Russian government assist the local market gaining liquidity?
