15.07.2025
A five-year plan for developing and implementing approaches to regulate the climate agenda within the Eurasian Economic Union, approved by the Heads of Governments in 2024, will be presented to the Eurasian Intergovernmental Council in mid-August.
"In particular, it is proposed to develop interstate standards in carbon regulation, as well as agreed decisions on accrediting relevant validation and verification bodies," told Andrey Slepnev, Minister in charge of Trade of the Eurasian Economic Commission
According to the EEC Minister, this will also entail taking measures to avoid barriers within the Union caused by the climate regulation of its Member States and engaging with third country partners on trade-related climate measures.
The proposed measures, once approved by the Heads of Governments, will be included in the action plan for implementing the "Eurasian Economic Path" Declaration on Further Development of Economic Processes within the EAEU until 2030 and for the period until 2045.
