THE RUSSIAN CARBON UNITS MARKET IN THE CONTEXT OF CORSIA: FIRST STEPS TOWARDS INTERNATIONAL COMPATIBILITY
Abstract and keywords
Abstract:
Russia has already established a system for the circulation of carbon units, which includes rules for registering climate projects, the procedure for issuing and offsetting carbon units, and a national registry of carbon units, but its international component is still under development. This article examines the current state of the Russian carbon unit market in the context of the requirements of the international CORSIA mechanism, which is used in civil aviation to compensate for the increase in greenhouse gas emissions. To assess the readiness of the Russian carbon unit market to meet the requirements of CORSIA, a compatibility index has been calculated, which includes regulatory, registry, methodological, verification, and market components. The convergence of the Russian carbon unit market and CORSIA is possible through a comprehensive approach to legislative changes, improved project quality, and active interdepartmental cooperation.

Keywords:
