According to generally accepted forecasts, the most dramatic climatic changes in the 21s century are expected to occur in the boreal regions of Northern Eurasia.The world scientific community, and in particular, the conclusions of the 3rd and 4th reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) generally support the view that climate change is anthropogenic. In order to counteract undesirable climate change, two important international agreements have been brought into force: - the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the Kyoto Protocol. After the ratification of the Kyoto Protocol by Russia (2005), it came into force. According to the Kyoto Protocol, Russia has undertaken a commitment not to exceed the level of anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases5 reached by 1990. In 2006 the greenhouse emissions in Russia were approximately one third less than in 1990.
