Abstract: Combatting climate change requires a better understanding of the transition of oil- and gas-producing countries, especially Russia. This study examines the perceptions and attitudes of Russian university students towards decarbonisation and related factors by analysing 381 responses to a questionnaire. The analysis reveals a low level of general confidence in decarbonisation in terms of the use of renewable energy, indicating perhaps that neither the university sector nor society in general has focused on informing students about decarbonisation. Thus, young Russians do not necessarily represent a potential force accelerating the Russian energy transition.
