It was established in pursuance of a decision by the President of the Russian Federation.

The Foundation was established in 2007 with the aim of facilitating the development of Russia’s economic potential, promoting its national interests, and strengthening the country’s image.

It also offers administrative services, provides promotional support for business projects and attracting investment, helps foster social entrepreneurship and charitable initiatives.

Each year, the Foundation’s events draw participants from 209 countries and territories, with more than 15,000 media representatives working on-site at Roscongress’ various venues. The Foundation benefits from analytical and professional expertise provided by 5,000 people working in Russia and abroad.

The Foundation works alongside various UN departments and other international organizations, and is building multi-format cooperation with 212 economic partners, including industrialists’ and entrepreneurs’ unions, financial, trade, and business associations from 86 countries worldwide, and 293 Russian public organizations, federal and regional executive and legislative bodies of the Russian Federation.

The Russian and Global Carbon Unit Market: Problems and Prospects

Congress Centre, conference hall B3
As part of decarbonization and the national energy transition, climate legislation has been active in recent years. Key regulatory acts aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions have been adopted, a necessary regulatory framework established to regulate the release of carbon units from climate projects, and a system of emission quotas launched within the framework of the Sakhalin experiment. In 2023, a registry was created for climate projects and carbon units issued into circulation and for use in transactions and regulations introduced into legislation to develop relations in the production and consumption of electricity generated by low-carbon generating facilities alongside new decarbonization instruments for generation attributes and certificates of origin. However, for the market to function properly here and abroad, a number of important issues remain to be resolved to determine the nature of the relations governing the issue and turnover of carbon units (quotas) and applicable legislation, the legal qualification of carbon units (quotas), generation attributes and certificates of origin, rules governing such instruments, and issues around liability and forefeiture.
