Emissions of pollutants into the atmosphere in Russian cities in 2000-2020 from stationary sources decreased slightly, but emissions from mobile sources increased. Premature mortality from chemical air pollution alone is estimated, at 40-80 thousand people per year. The increase in air pollution by motor vehicles, due to the growth of road transport and the fleet of cars. There is no significant transition to environmentally friendly transport. The health impact of high levels of urban population, premature deaths per year, and economic damage of over 8% of GDP. There is an increase in air pollution by motor vehicles, due to the growth of road transport and the fleet of cars. In recent years, the global energy markets have seen a decline in the growth of demand for hydrocarbons. This is largely due to the long-term trend towards decarbonization, which involves the introduction of energy-efficient technologies, the spread of the price of carbon, and the accelerated development of low-carbon and carbon-free energy sources. To reduce the risks of carbon regulation, as well as to realize new opportunities, it is necessary to create an effective national strategy for low-carbon development of Russia and an effective system of carbon regulation.
