Abstract

The international agreements, protocols and programs related to global warming, supported by the Russian Federation, as well as plans to combat greenhouse gas emissions, primarily carbon dioxide, recognized as the greenhouse effect main anthropogenic factor, are considered. The article analyzes the Climate Doctrines of the Russian Federation, including the Comprehensive Plan for the Climate Doctrine implementation, federal laws, regulations and a Strategy for long-term development with low greenhouse gas emissions until 2050 in terms of their impact on the construction industry development. The danger of striving to zero CO2 emissions and decarbonization for the construction materials production is shown. A positive example of solving the reducing greenhouse gas emissions problem is presented.
