POSITION ON THE REDUCTION OF FOSSIL FUELS AND AIR POLLUTION OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION Greetings again fellow delegates, I the representative of the Russian Federation, wish to speak to the General Assembly. As we all know, global warming is a threat not only to humanity but to all living beings in Earth. As Russia acknowledges this problem, we ratified the Kyoto Protocol a few years ago; we allowed this procedure to get into effect, as we believe Kyoto won’t hit our national economy. The Russian people and the world, we all benefit from this major decision made by former President Vladimir Putin on November 4th 2004. Although some of our industries will suffer from the new measures and will place us in disadvantage compared to other countries that doesn’t have this restrictions. Nevertheless the economic gain can be spare by the sell of emissions credits to European Countries, and for Easter European countries that now will buy energy from us in order to keep down their greenhouse gases emissions. In conclusion, the Russian Federation is in favor of reducing air pollution and greenhouse gases, that not only damage the environment, it also threatens life on Earth as we know it. If we don’t act soon and take a major role in the situation as Russia has done, possibly we will not live for another 1000 years.

BRIEF HISTORY AND ECONOMIC RESEARCH ABOUT RUSSIA IN THIS RUBRIC While being the second largest empire the Earth has seen, and by far the largest country in the World, Russia’s attitudes toward the subject have a major impact in this planet. While the Soviet Union existed, the former Russian Republic was the nation that polluted the most of all United Republics, and second Ukraine, this is indeed, because the population was more concentrated in this places than in others. De facto, factories established there and development rise in the mentioned republics, the discovery of vast oil and natural gas reserve fuel the progress in the Caspian and Black Sea area, all this causing major soil, water and air pollution. After the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, everything in Russia fell: economy, power and CO2 gas emissions. With the vision of a new era for the Motherland, former President Vladimir Putin tried to raise the knocked down economy of Russia with the right foot by signing the Kyoto Protocol in 2004. He reassured the responsibility of companies and factories had to the world. His administration is a role model in this subject, setting the example to follow in developing nations. The creation of pollutant restrictions to power energy plants and high contaminant factories had led to a Russia’s healthy atmosphere and an improvement to the quality of air in the major urban areas.
