In response to a question from a Mayak radio journalist, Putin said that "indeed, Russia has acceded to the Paris Agreement."
“The Paris Agreement set a goal to prevent a temperature increase of 1.5%. Whether we can manage to do this together or not, I don’t know, because no one really knows the causes of global climate change, ”the Russian leader said.
He added that calculating how modern humanity is affecting global climate change is very difficult, if not impossible.
“But you can’t do anything either ... We must make every effort to ensure that the climate does not change dramatically,” Putin said.
