Ruslan Edelgeriyev Edelgeriyev Ruslan Edelgeriyev RuslanAdviser to the President, Special Presidential Representative on Climate Issues noted the importance of a candid and open dialogue between Russia and the EU. Drafting the legal and regulatory framework for the implementation of the provisions of the Paris Climate Agreement was discussed.

An environmentally friendly recovery following the coronavirus pandemic was also touched upon. Ruslan Edelgeriyev pointed out the importance of taking into account the comprehensive nature of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development rather than being limited to isolated matters when developing measures to promote economic recovery.

The Russian participants drew attention to the unacceptability of using the climate agenda in unfair political actions and economic protectionism. Russia is also supportive of continuing environmental cooperation, which was curtailed at Brussels’ initiative.

The parties agreed to continue the dialogue on these matters.
