Prominent Russian Academic Karaganov: The 'Protection Of Nature' Could Be A Means Of 'Advancing' Russia's 'International Position'
April 27, 2021
On April 14, 2021, prominent Russian academic Sergey Karaganov, also known as the "Russian Kissinger," published an article in Rossiiskaya Gazeta, titled "Turning To Green," arguing that Russia should launch a new environmental policy to promote the country's international position.[1]
According to Karaganov, as long as Russia does not have its own defined environmental policy, the West will be able to shape an international agenda that suits its own interests and competitive advantages. Meanwhile, Karaganov asserted, China and other developing countries are getting involved in "the race for leadership" in defining the future green agenda.
