On 5 April 2016, the AEB Safety, Health, Environment & Security and Energy Efficiency Committees held the Round Table “Russian Climate Policy: Developments & Prospects”.

Larisa Korepanova, Deputy Director, Department for State Policy and Regulation of Water Resources and Hydrometeorology, the RF Ministry of Natural Resources & Ecology, and Igor Bashmakov, Executive Director, Centre for Energy Efficiency, were the event speakers and its distinguished guests.

The representatives of the AEB member companies, Max Gutbrod, Baker & McKenzie, Lilia Ponomareva, Schneider Electric, Dominic Fean, PBN Hill+Knowlton Strategies, Mikhail Matyoushin, EDF Fenice Rus, and Anton Galenovich, ECOCOM, showed that the connection between high level decisions taken in the climate changes field and the business should be more evident and more “down-to-earth”. The business was rather split after Kyoto which was a great disappointment. In new situation Russia may make big benefits by overcomplying with the requirements.

The Round Table was chaired by Valery Kucherov, Chairman of the Safety, Health, Environment & Security Committee, and Vincent de Rul, Chairman of the Energy Efficiency Committee.
