Prospects for Achieving Carbon Neutrality in a Large Metropolis Using the Example of Moscow

An analysis of the main anthropogenic sources of greenhouse gases entering the atmosphere was carried out, changes in emissions over the past 30 years were determined both for the Russian Federation as a whole and for a large metropolis, Moscow. The measures taken at the state and local level to implement the Decree of the President of Russia of November 4, 2020 No. 666 "On reducing greenhouse gas emissions" have been considered. The reasons why the prospects for achieving carbon neutrality may move from medium-term to long-term objectives are substantiated, as well as the possibility of scaling the experience of Moscow in implementing directions to achieve carbon neutrality while maintaining economic growth to other populated areas of the country is explored.
