Abstract: The article gains an insight into the key provisions of Russia’s climate policy and the main stages of its formation. The relevance of the research topic is determined by the need to develop an effective national strategy to reduce climate risks for Russia’s sustainable social and economic development. The article is aimed at shaping a well-grounded understanding of the current state of the national climate policy. It describes the current climate regime of the United Nations, resulting from longstanding international cooperation. The article analyses Russia’s approach to the formation of climate policy on the basis of the national legal framework to combat climate change and adapt to its consequences, and identifies the key problems affecting the formation of the national climate policy. As a result of the research the authors have come to the following conclusions. The climate policy of the Russian Federation is developing in accordance with the global concept. However, the key issues of climate policy have not yet been fully integrated into the national social and economic policy. The current stage in the development of Russian climate policy suggests that the process of its formation should move to a new quality level in the short run.
