the Paris agreement on climate change, adopted during the climate conference in Paris in December 2015, came into force on 4 November. Within its framework, the developed countries agreed to allocate annually to developing countries to $ 100 billion for the implementation of environmental policy. Russia, in turn, undertook to prepare a strategy for long-term development with low greenhouse gas emissions until 2050. Siberia was supposed to be a pilot carbon-free zone, however the later sources, “Kommersant” reported that the relevant agencies have closed and withdrew the issue of creating a carbon-free zone in Eastern Siberia.
