“The main issue is the fight against forest fires, which I would like to note: the situation will worsen every year, because climate change is already visible everywhere, even in Russia,” said Yakovenko.

According to him, the average temperature increase from multi-year levels in some regions of Siberia already exceeds 8-10 ° C.

He added that it is necessary to prepare for climate change, in particular - we need to be more attentive to fire safety measures.

Earlier, Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev during a meeting in Krasnoyarsk in connection with forest fires in Siberia instructed to monitor the maximum allowable concentration of harmful substances in the air in the fire zone.
