  19. Why should Russia ratify • The Kyoto protocol is not a constraint on Russia’s economic growth - Russia will most likely still be below its 1990 level in 2020. No doubt that it will meet its obligations; - Huge potential for energy conservation; - Emission trading will benefit Russia as will Joint implementation. • Ratification by Russia of the Kyoto protocol will enable its entry into force and contribute to confirm the role of Russia as a global and responsible player in the environmental field. • Ratification will be welcomed by developing countries that expect vast investments through the Clean Development Mechanism.
