Climate changes are becoming apparent to everyone, and their consequences are increasingly affecting the life of humanity. In recent years, within the framework of international climate cooperation, a number of important UN documents have been adopted. In September 2015, the 70th session of the UN General Assembly adopted the Agenda for Sustainable Development for the period until 2030, one of goals of the which was to combat climate change. In December 2015, the 21st session of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change adopted the Paris Climate Agreement, which entered into force in November 2016.

The Russian Federation recognizes the importance and urgency of the problem of global climate change and pays much attention to the development of measures to reduce the anthropogenic load on the climate system and adapt to climate change. Realization of the scheduled plans and achievement of the set goals for reducing greenhouse gas emissions requires consolidation of the efforts of the government,  business and the public, informing about the measures being taken and planned, and the results already achieved. On this basis, the activities of the climate week are aimed at broadly informing the public and drawing attention to the problem of global climate change.
